About Réthymno North Mole Lighthouse
This stone lighthouse stands 16 meters tall at the end of Rethymno's north mole, marking the entrance to the harbor. It features a square tower with a lantern and gallery, mounted on a matching stone base. A single green band encircles the white structure. The light emits a green flash every three seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, offering views of the harbor and the historic town, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light is essential for vessels entering and exiting Rethymno harbor by clearly marking the end of the main breakwater, thus preventing collisions and ensuring safe passage.
