Bästa tid att besöka
Late afternoon during spring or early autumn is ideal, when temperatures cool and the light softens for photography. Avoid midday to escape the strongest sun and larger crowds.
Budgettips
Entry costs about 5 euros, with discounts for students and seniors. Attend on the first Sunday of each month for free entry, and consider combo tickets that include nearby historic sites to save money.

Snabba fakta: Visitors can walk along the longest preserved stretch of walls at 1.5 kilometers with stunning views of the city and sea. The castle once served as a military fortress, guarding the region from invasions for centuries.
Höjdpunkter: Climbing to the highest tower offers a surprisingly close view of the 324-meter radar station that looks like a giant white mushroom, blending history with modern technology. In the lower courtyard, ancient olive trees still bear fruit, adding a tactile connection to the past among the stones.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes as terrain is uneven in spots.
- Bring a camera for sweeping vistas from the highest towers.
- Avoid weekends to skip peak crowds and have a quieter experience.
- Do not miss the olive trees in the courtyard, a unique living relic of the past.
