Very good stroll up and down. Lovely views from the fortress to the port. Not much to see around the fortress itself, but nice piece of history. More

It's actually not a bad climb, and you will be rewarded by the view. I would do it for the sunset, I had the fort to myself and a great view. More

Stunning views of the little town, costs very little to get into the fort, well worth the walk. More

The views, the views, the views. If you're a photographer, amateur or otherwise, you must make this climb. It's less than £3 to get in, and though it's not much more than a fort to clamber around, it's worth it. And did I mention the views? More

Walked up the hill from Amfora - just for the stroll and left cash at hotel. There was no way we would be allowed past the gate so it was a wasted walk. But then it is a great way for 70yo to keep fit. More

This place is worth the climb, for the architecture of the place, as well as the awesome views over the harbour and Pakleni Islands. More
