This stunning Venetian fortress sets the tone for your visit to the island. It is really the first thing you notice as you approach by boat and is excellent. So much history through the Ottoman empire, Turkish and Greek influences all make this a remarkable structure. Don’t forget your water and camera as you will get lots of great photos around this area.
