The end of the pier in Heraklion with a lighthouse. Getting there is definitely not easy. First, the pier is almost 2.5 km long, so it's almost 5 km there and back. Second, if the wind is blowing, access can be difficult.

Photography Tips

It's a great place to photograph ships arriving in the harbor or planes taking off from the nearby airport.

Travel Information

Get ready for a roughly 5 km walk along the pier. It can be tough in the summer sun or when it's really windy.
