Hiking

The ruin is worth a visit. Right in front of it you can park for free and choose the point as a starting point for hikes. There is no entry. A snack bar offers drinks, snacks and a great view of the ruins.

Hiking

The castle was built in the 11th century and the location was perfect for the time. You could see all the way to the Ottoman coast, but the fortress was barely visible from the sea and was therefore well protected from pirate attacks. Today only a ruin, but the priceless view remains.
