beautiful "Magic Place" beach in the immediate vicinity of the castle. Also suitable for small children (with parents), as the water is very shallow and warm.

Hiking

The way over the mountains is very beautiful and exciting. Only serpentines and narrow as well as with rubble from the mountain. But it is rewarded with a great view. The fort is currently being restored. The fort has a great beach and is ideal for swimming.

When the Venetians built the castle in the 14th century, the members of the Patsos family went there at night and kept destroying what had been built during the day. A commemorative plaque opposite the entrance commemorates this. The fort is expected to be completed by 2024 due to Renovations remain closed, but you can still see everything.
