Nestled along the pristine coastline of southwestern Greece, this medieval fortress boasts a rich history of conquest and defence. Constructed by the Venetians in the 13th century, it majestically overlooks the Ionian Sea, connected to the mainland by a striking stone causeway. Unique features include its picturesque entrance adorned with the emblem of St. Mark, and a well-documented history of clashes between Venetians and Ottomans. Visitors can explore its labyrinth of tunnels and battlements, glimpsing into the past where pirate battles and epic sieges unfolded. You might even spot the Bourtzi, a charming, octagonal tower guarding the harbour.
