History

This castle was never conquered. The Castle of Monolithos is widely ruined today but it offers great views of the sea and the two islets opposite to it. Inside the Castle, there are two chapels that are no longer used. Access to the castle is by a staircase cut into the rock.

Отличный вид открывается изнутри этого замка, советую всем посетить! Там же можно посмотреть на место обитания Святого Пантелеймона и купить икон и свечек.
