Archangelos Fort Castle
There’s not that much to see here to be honest. The walls are rather well preserved and there’s a small monastery of some sort inside and a fig tree (and possibly some goats too). The fort looks nice in the dark tho on a distance.
Short history
Source: Wikipedia
Numerous small settlements existed in the broader area of Archangelos during the Hellenistic era, others on the coast and others inland. After the 7th century AD the settlements near the coast were abandoned due to the frequent invasions of pirates and their inhabitants settled on existing inland settlements or founded new ones in more secure areas. Over time the various settlements of the area were merged in one forming the town of Archangelos.
After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Knights Hospitaller who were occupying the island of Rhodes since 1309, built a fortress (some sort of an Acropolis) on top of one of the town’s nearby hills to protect from a possible Ottoman invasion on the island. Ruins of this (castle of Saint John) fortress remain today.
Instructions
There’s no actual parkin near the castle, if you are lucky there’s some space here or here. If those places are full or not just accessible for what ever reason then you’ll just have to find a place for your car somewhere in Archangelos and then walk up (which is the most interesting way of getting here).
