A water-filled moat protected the land (south) side of the Venetian/Ottoman Rhion fortress, occupying the southern outcrop at the entrance to the narrow sea strait that leads to Corinth, a strategic passage since antiquity.

At the north tip of the Rio peninsula and at the entrance of the Corinthian Gulf proudly stands the Castle of Rio, historically known as the Castle of the Morea. The castle was built by the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II in 1499 within three months. Along with its twin, the Antirrio Castle, they were intended to protect the entrance to the Corinthian Gulf, and were nicknamed the "Little Dardanelles". For a considerable time the fortress served as a prison, today it is used for cultural purposes, especially concerts during the summer. The admission fee is 3 Eur (2023) and the opening hours are 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.
