Why go

Start near Firkas Fort, follow the quay past Yali Tzami mosque, and continue toward the former Venetian dockyards. The changing view of the lighthouse gives the walk a clear shape, while short turns into nearby lanes reveal how the port connects to the old town. Choose this for an easy outdoor history and architecture stop rather than a single building visit.

What to look for

  • Lighthouse across the harbour entrance
  • Yali Tzami mosque on the waterfront
  • Former Venetian dockyards along the eastern quay

Useful to know

  • Use the quays as your route; the map point marks the harbour basin, not a walking entrance.
  • Allow about 90 minutes for the waterfront walk, with extra time for museums or cafes.
