Tour of the Castletown

Passing the large gate that is adorned with Ali Pasha's coat of arms, you are transferred to a different era, to a time when this castle was the greatest administrative body in the whole of Greece.

Take the tour of the land where Greek language was developed, where the great teachers of the nation spread their knowledge, where the art of war was studied by the great chieftains.

Here, in one of the few castles that continue to be inhabited, Ali Pasha lived with his dearly beloved, Kyra Vasiliki, during one of the most emblematic and enigmatic reigns of the Ottoman Empire. Taking a guided tour of the walking trail will provide an sensational opportunity to get acquainted with this intriguing place.

Upon your exit from the castle, get lost amidst the quaint alleys of the old town, where the silver and goldsmiths once prospered; nowadays you can sense the glorious past. Listed buildings, commercial arcades that either maintain their character 'til this day or have been transformed into hubs of entertainment, will comprise another chance to fall in love with our town.
