It was wonderful, of course it takes a lot of effort to get there, you have to be in good shape, but it definitely worth it. The water the view, the castle and the bridges are wonderful. But make sure to visit the terrace
The whole experience on the island was amazing. This fortress is in a very unique location out on the water and offers very stunning architecture. It’s a quick trip through it but it has a great selection of snacks and drinks to buy inside and the views from it are breathtaking. It’s interesting that it even offers you the option in certain seasons to stay overnight as it is also a hostel.
First of all: this location is absolutely fantastic - breathtaking views, a paradise for snorkelers, a rather interesting (by European standards) historical background. But: the path to the fortress can be a horror trip for people who are not free from giddiness: There are no railings of any kind either on the approximately 35-minute walk from the jetty to the fortress or on the approximately 55-inch-wide Ùbridges to the fortress. It is regrettable that neither the organizers nor the regional administration/tourism authority take this into account. If you are not afraid of heights, use this attraction as an opportunity to rid yourself of a phobia or the trauma behind it - I was unable to do so. I was given a nightmarish day ☹️
Beautiful fortress with amazing views, lovely fish-patterned azulejos, and interesting history. The entrance is only 1€ and there is a nice bar inside (cheaper than the other on the island
