Leros Castle

Late medieval fortification/early bastionated (*) fortress as an extension of a Byzantine castle on the site of an ancient acropolis.

The castle is situated on Pitýki Mountain, a steep promontory which is only 154 m in height, but “commands” the two most important harbours on the island, the bays of Álinda and Ajía Marína. As a lookout-post it was connected to different other castles and Vígles (which are mostly non fortified lookout-posts) on the Island of Kálymnos which belonged to the Knights Hospitallers.
Nowadays the castle is commonly named Kástro tís Panajías, meaning “Castle of St. Mary”.
Access to the castle is possible on a footpath (with a lot of steps) from Platanos, the main village of Leros, or otherwise by car from Platanos or Alinda. – The access is free of charge.
