Panorama | Review | Map
Normally if someone suggests a castle visit when I am on a sun-soaked mediterranean island, I would emphatically decline. However, even I quite enjoyed this one.
It is largely ruined and absolutely enormous, covering a huge site right on the summit of the hill of Strana, overlooking the port of Zakynthos town. It has been used and built upon by a succession of armies and invaders from the Middle Ages right up to the Second World War.
However, what I liked best about it, was strolling through the fragrant pine forest, with lizards scampering about under my feet - oh! And the line of lamposts in the wood, which looked as though I had stepped straight out of a wardrobe and into Narnia.
