The castle of Angelokastro is situated on the North-West coast of Corfu near the village of Krini and occupies the territory of a high rocky cape overlooking the waters of the Ionian sea.
I'd like to show a few photos from our trip to the castle.
The place to build the castle was chosen not by chance. The coast of the island is perfectly visible (from a height of more than three hundred meters above sea level), so pirates and other unexpected guests could not appear suddenly.
At one time, Angelokastro played a significant role in the public life of the island. Being one of the most important fortifications of Corfu, the castle always attracted travelers and traders.
From the top of Angelokastro there are wonderful views of the Ionian Sea.
Warning signs everywhere.
And, finally, another landscape photo of the castle.
