If you do not climb up directly from the parking lot to the Paleo Pyli castle ruins, but follow the path straight ahead, you will come to this small chapel. From there you can climb back up to the castle ruins via a trail through a gorge

Good starting point for the castle ruins. The main parking lot is often crowded. There is also a path leading up from here.
