Bourtzi Fortress
Bourtzi Fortress
On a tiny peninsula that separates the old and new harbour, you’ll find the ruins of Bourtzi Fortress. Today, only a few remnants of the original walls remain but you can still get a feel for how this majestic site looked when it was built back in the 13th century.
