Bourtzi

Opposite the old port via a 15m causeway lies the shady and inviting Bourtzi islet, where a fortress stood strong from 1207 AD until the late 17th century. Today, the tiny peninsula is home to a Maritime and Culture Tradition Museum and a stylish Bourtzi, from below which ladders provide direct access to the glittering sea.
