13th century Byzantine fortress is located in a surprising spot as there are more obvious spots very close by. The walls are all that remain, which are crumbling at certain points. It's worth a stop if in southern Corfu. The entrance is free, but I feel it could be better maintained and more could be done to preserve and utilise it.

Nice medieval fortress. Walls are very well preserved. It's worth the visit if you are traveling nearby.

I was looking for some ruins to explore and this was on our way home for the Governor Mill olive oil mill. We large exterior walls are visible as you pull up on the side street. Inside there is a lage courtyard and old stone path to walk as you explore. Some areas are blocked off for safety but there is still a lot of areas that are accessible. More information on the sites history was the only thing missing. Very glad we stopped I would recommend seeing this if you are in the area.

It's a nice walk around the ruins of the castle, and the views are nice too. But there is no information about the history of the castle.
