The venetian Castle
Plaka 848 00, Greece
Its location on the hill of Profitis Ilias, in Plaka, is inextricably linked with the view to one of the most mesmerizing sunsets of Cyclades! The Venetian castle of Milos was founded during the 13th century by the first Duke of Naxos, Marco I Sanudo, for the protection of the island from pirate raids. The walls of the castle were actually the walls of the houses, while on its top, in “Mesa Kastro” (inner castle), there was the tower of the ruler in charge. On your way up to the old citadel, you will meet Panagia Thalassitra, a perfect spot to feast your eyes on the sunset at the bay of Milos.
