Hurtige fakta: The castle features thick stone walls extending almost 250 meters in length and towers that rise over 20 meters high. Visitors can walk along ramparts that once defended the island during intense sieges.
Højdepunkter: A secret underground cistern inside the castle can hold thousands of gallons of water, keeping inhabitants safe during months-long sieges. From the highest battlements, you can see the shimmering Aegean Sea and even the nearby Turkish coast on clear days.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven stone steps and paths.
- Bring a hat and water bottle in warmer months for comfort.
- Photograph the sunset from the western tower for spectacular colors.
- Skip weekdays during the peak summer to avoid crowds and long waits.
