ANGELOKASTRO
Historic Byzantine castle with a panoramic view of the bay of Palaiokatritsa.
Continue past Krini on the imperfect path to Angelokastro. The "Castle of the Angels" is a historic Byzantine building perched 305 metres above sea level - making it a strategic defence point against pirates and later against the Ottoman siege attempts. From the 14th to the 17th century, the castle served as the capital of the island. It includes a church, a chapel and a circular tower within its walls. Above all, it offers an impressive view of the entire bay of Palaiokatritsa.

Situé à moins de 10 km de Krini, sur la côte ouest de l'île, le site reste peu fréquenté des touristes et accessible à tous. Attention néanmoins à ne pas laisser vos têtes blondes s'approcher trop près des barrières, très peu sécuritaires.

Fin avril la visite était gratuite. Au départ de la montée un bar pour se désaltérer.
