This is its Castle in these photos. Named "Kalles". It means tower. Kalles
probably got its name from the Turks. So they say. I won't say anything about this. It was built by the Venetians in the 13th century AD. It protected and protects the city. In 1508 it was destroyed by an earthquake.
Many conqueror folks have passed by this place. Over and through this small and beautiful castle. Many times I get images of Saracen pirates ungird their swords. Now that I think about it. How many conqueror folks have passed.
You should pass by too. Not as a conqueror. Take only your smile with you. Residents will reciprocate. You should pass by too. With the first opportunity you get. You can chill out there at the entrance of the old port. Cuddling with your loved one.
If it's winter and there are waves even better. The saltiness of the drops of the sea, together with the waves reach very high. It will lick your hair. It will give a salty taste in your kisses. Don't forget you will need a jacket. It's very windy.
If it's summer, perfect. The sun will coat your half naked bodies. An icy cold beer. Yes. And a towel. The stones of the castle will be burning hot. You should also see cultural events through the embrasures.
Getting starved after the hugs and kisses? There are some amazing tavernas, snack bars and raki bars, it's something else. But I will write about this in my other article. Thanks for reading. Au revoir.
