You can reach the castle from the town by different routes but all are quite intriguing and steep! The castle is kept in reasonable condition but once at the ramparts, keep hold of children as there is nothing in place to stop them from falling over the walls! There is a guide if you need help and also a small chapel at the top. The castle has been rebuilt many times and extended by the Venetians when occupied by them. It has various levels of defences up the hill. It would be nice to have a cafe for refreshments as it is thirsty work climbing up to and in the castle grounds so don't forget to bring water bottles with you. It takes around 30 minutes by foot to travel from the town harbour to the castle entrance or 5 to 10 minutes by car. Views from the ramparts are spectacular.
