    Put on sturdy shoes, because it is not only the large castle complex, but there are also excavations to be visited in front of the castle. toilet in the complex :-)

    Nerátzia Castle (also known as St. John's Fortress or St. John's Castle) is located at the entrance to Mandráki Harbour. In ancient times, the castle grounds formed a small offshore island connected to the main island by a bridge. Even before the arrival of the Hospitallers, there were fortifications here to protect the port.

    The old bridge can still be seen today. It now leads over the avenue of palm trees, which was built in place of the moat during the Italian occupation, and is the only access to the interior of the fortress.
