Irene Goul

One of the most picturesque and romantic places to visit. Make sure you walk all the way to enjoy the breathtaking view . If you decide to stay overnight make sure you book a hotel in the castle .

Simply put: a fantastic place. Quiet , moody, romantic , fantastic views to the city and the sea, taverns and bars with terraces and rooftops overlooking the sea and the city , plenty of things to see/do

Jessica Ansaldi

Beautiful Town , cobbled streets , romantic and historic. Stay on the castle if you can. There's a portello to swim at. The restaurants and bars are lovely!!

Stavros Stavropoulos

Very Hard to find parking ...Minibus travels every 10’. 1€ per person... Castle has accommodation, Restaurants , cafe bars and souvenirs... Surface paths unstable, requires snickers ....

Founded by the Byzantines in the sixth century, the so-called “Gibraltar of the East” was occupied by the Byzantines, the Crusaders, the Venetians, and the Turks in the past.

Wilson Favre-Delerue

Packed with tourists especially during the cool evening hours, yet remains a site of awesome historical relevance and beauty.

Nicki Hunt

100% worth visiting - very unique experience. It's a bit of a hike up to the top - takes about 1/2 hour. Wear good walking shoes/runners. Take water bottle. Go early in the morning to avoid sun.

Vangelis Koukidis

Astonishing medieval town , one of a kind. Takes you to another time. Try to avoid very hot periods, as the rock above it makes it much hotter. Enough stuff to see for two days.

Δημήτρης Βλάχος

A unique place that is certainly worth a visit. You get a chance to walk in the narrow streets and walls and enjoy the terraces and balconies having dinner or sipping a cocktail .

Olly Stedall

In the lower town , explore the historic buildings like the Muslim Mosque , a preserved 16th century building housing the Archaeological Museum , as well as the magnificent Byzantine churches .

Olly Stedall

In the (uninhabited) upper town , you will come across the remains of old Byzantine buildings. A rocky twisty path leads you to the Fortress of Youlás offering an outstanding view of the city .

Taxiltaridis Nick

One of the most beautiful places in Greece. Old byzantine town with old houses great taverns great food.

Simon

Definitely worth-seeing: the castle is beautiful and walking through the roads feels like being in ancient times. There are also many restaurants and souvenir shops.

Elias Biz

How this is not a UNESCO world heritage site blows my mind. It’s a 1000+ year old castle town , living and breathing as a modern day castle town .

Natasha Iliopoulou

Cinematic view , narrow streets , feels like in a medieval era.. it’s a Must!

Τι να πει κανείς για το κάστρο ; Οι εικόνες μιλάνε απο μόνες τους!! Μαγευτική θέα και φοβερή ατμόσφαιρα. Θέλει περπάτημα και στρωτά παππούτσια γιατί στο πλακόστρωτο και μέσα στα καλντερίμια γλιστράει!
