From here you have a beautiful view of the old harbor and the old town. From the eastern side of the Boúrtzi peninsula you can see the bay, the new harbor and the airport.

The fortress (island castle) was built in 1204 after the Fourth Crusade by Venice and named after Saint George. Even before the conquest of Constantinople (1453), the city was a target for pirates. The city's population mostly retreated to the Kástro, which was built in the 13th century and is located to the north. Chaireddin Barbarossa plundered the city in 1538. In 1660, during the reconquest under Francesco Morosini, the fortress was destroyed by the Venetians. After the liberation from the Turks as a result of the Greek Revolution (1830), the city's primary school was moved to the building on the peninsula. Today it is a cultural center. The circular path and the Kafenio are popular tourist destinations.
