Om
Hurtige fakta: De er omkring 8 kilometer lange og omfatter 4 kilometer i fremragende stand. Hvert år går tusindvis af besøgende op på murene for at nyde panoramaudsigten over byen og den Termæiske Bugt.
Højdepunkter: Ved murenes nordøstlige ende fungerede Eptapyrgio (Yedi Kule) som fængsel i over 100 år, frem til 1989. Dets vægge bærer stadig indridsede navne og beskeder fra fanger, hvilket skaber en isnende kontrast mellem fæstningsarkitekturen og den menneskelige historie.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, because the path has steep inclines and slippery stones.
- Go up to the section on Olympou Street for the best photo: the wall is framed by colorful houses.
- Avoid midday hours in the summer, as there is no shade.
- Combine the visit with a walk in the Upper Town, the picturesque alleys with traditional houses.
