Kritinia Castle

Crowning a 430-foot (131-meter) hill above the village of Kritinia, the crumbling stone shell of Kritinia Castle offers panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the neighboring island of Halki. Constructed in the 15th century by the Knights of St. John, the castle’s ruins include a chapel and the coats of arms of Grand Masters. Today, visitors can explore the historic site, tracing the footsteps of medieval knights while taking in the sweeping vistas that stretch to the horizon.
