Historic in Myrina

Myrina Castle
Free 0.1 km from centre

13th-century Venetian fortress on a rocky promontory overlooking the harbour and town. The walk up gives wide sea views and you can explore the battlements and interior.

🕐 Open 24 hours; interiors not lit after sunset

💡 Go late afternoon for the best light and quieter crowds. There’s no signposting inside, so wear sturdy shoes for the uneven stone.
