We went in November, in the afternoon and it wasn’t very busy at all all. The first gate was closed, but it seems the locals walk around this and then you can go into the castle, amazing views. The church was closed , and there was a small carpark at the bottom and it’s 5 to 10 minute walk if that to the first gate

This place is a spectacular viewpoint on its own. The sheer cliffs rise sharp, high above the water, and offer a magnificent view of the Adriatic Sea. This view, though priceless in its recreational purposes, is also invaluable for military objectives. The Byzantines did not fail to acknowledge this and went forth to fortify the position. In this act, they created a superb observatory as well as an impregnable fortress. The cliffs are nigh impossible to climb from most directions, even with sophisticated equipment. Only the eastern side is somewhat accessible, but even this is via a narrow path winding along a steep slope. Don't miss a chance to visit this place. The ascent may seem exhausting, but it is quite manageable, and the photos you will take will be most memorable. Much more so, the images of endless blue from atop the massive cliffs will quite surely leave a lasting impression that will always be available in your mind's eye.

Was there end of the season (end of September) so not much people. Hike up my 7 month pregnant wife was able to do it without much effort. Once up it does give a nice overview off the area. It is more a ruin though some parts like the entrance gate have been restored.

A must see in Corfu, wow what an incredible Castle with rich history, it's a little tough to walk up, takes under 10 minutes but is fairly steep, but if you have any injuries may be difficult. It's well worth it, what a view

You can see this castle from far distance. It's very majestic. Climb upstairs is not that hard and long. View is totally spectacular. Just imagine how these kind of castles were built, very impressive. Totally recommend to visit.
