This is a very old fortress, it is abandoned, but it is still used for concerts and as a theater. It is mostly used in the summer, since it's in open space. Any tourist should go see it. It can be seen from anywhere in Sitia, so it's easy to find. Most of the time to enter you need to pay, but sometimes that isn't the case. The concerts are always hold at nighttime or in the evening.

It was closed in November 2022 due to lack of staff. The outside is nice.

We took a drive to Sitia, we had a quick look outside the Fortress as it was closed (plus the reviews) but weren't that impressed and would have been better off staying further up the coast. For someone not that interested it wasn't worth it but if you particularly like small fortresses I'm sure it's lovely and wouldn't want to put you off

There s literally nothing to see inside. View is better from the outside. 3 euro entry fee is not justified.

The fortress is laying bare (there is nothing inside except a few basic panels narrating the history of the place) but the walls are well preserved and the interior is pretty to look at thanks to some trees and flowers. The view from the keep is also quite beautiful.
