Great panoramic views of old town and the sea below. A short but somewhat steep climb up. Be cautious of the slippery stones...especially going down.
Built on a rocky peninsula with two characteristic hills (Corifes), Old Fortress is positioned at the eastern end of the citadel.
There is a shop at the entrance of the site, where you will find certified replicas of exhibits, books, cards and various other souvenirs and gifts.
