Knights of St John Castle

At the top of the hill, a rickety stairway leads to the ruins of the Knights of St John Castle, which gave the island its name – thanks to the red cliff on which it stood, this was the ‘Castello Rosso’. It offers splendid views of Turkey.

There's no barriers, so think twice about taking little 'uns.
