Traveler reviews
Year Shi
★★★★★4 years agoHere you can overlook the old city and the view extends to the sea. It is also a good place to watch the sunset with a wide view. If you have plenty of time, you can take a walk on the wall like a local.
Manos Kornarakis
★★★★★4 years agoNew gate at old walls to the center of the city.very nice stone work. At East side you can find walk road to go up on the walls and the walk road to Nikos Kazantzakis grave. On the walk road over the place the view to sea and to the city is beautiful.the name means the cut walls. Beautiful plants and flowers around.
