크레타 섬‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 동굴

쿠레스 요새는 팔레오카스트로 지역에 위치하며, 하니아에서 동쪽으로 12km 떨어진 칼라미 마을 근처, 고대 아프테라 유적 근처에 있습니다. 이 요새는 1866년 크레타 혁명 이후 터키인들이 크레타를 통제하기 위한 네트워크의 일부로 건설했습니다. 이 요새는 크레타의 터키 총독인 후세인 아브니 파샤가 건설했으며 19세기 건축 양식의 대표적인 예입니다. 이 요새는 하니아로 가는 길목에 있던 바모스 계곡을 통제하기 위해 건설되었습니다. 바모스에 터키인들이 건설한 다른 탑들과 함께 수다 만을 통제하고 근처의 인체딘 요새를 지원했습니다.

The name Frangokastello comes from a Venetian castle built in 1371 on a low peninsula, the crenellated outer walls of which still stand today. Above the south gate of the fortress, the coat of arms of the Venetian builders, the Lion of Saint Mark, is still well preserved. Inside the structure, however, only the foundations of the complex are visible. The castle, which was restored again by the Venetians under their commander Nicolo Dona in 1593, was later abandoned. Subsequently, the local inhabitants of Sfakio removed the beams from the towers and rooms.

The journey there is worthwhile, always along the E4.....

The flag needs to be renewed... ;-)

Great ruin and great viewpoint

Easily accessible on foot from Azogires. We combined a visit to the caves with a visit to this castle. The trail is well marked and unovergrown, making it easy to hike even in shorts. Great views!

Damn steep and bushy.

A Venetian castle located on a hill in the old town. From here, you can overlook the harbor and the surrounding bay. Can be visited every day except Tuesdays; admission is €5 (as of May 2025). Details about the castle's eventful history can be found online (unfortunately, I only found useful results in English): https://www.kastra.eu/castleen.php?kastro=casarma
