Situated on a charming expanse of grass and wildflowers, the Castle of Mytilene is an impregnable fortress surrounded by verdant pine trees. With three layers of fortifications, the extensive Castle of Mytilene is separated into three parts; namely, The Acropolis, The Main Yard, and The Lower Yard, each a treat to explore. From churches and a prison to the spooky underground cistern and crypts, the Castle of Mytilene makes for a hearty adventure into the past. At The Acropolis, it is a must to climb to the battlements for a stunning view of the sea and the picturesque cluster of Greek buildings. In the summer, many concerts are held at the castle, heightening your immersion into Greek culture and history. The two yards on the other hand give you an intimate look at nature unbridled, in all of its glory. Chock-full of preserved ruins, the Castle of Mytilene will be an unforgettable wonder.
