The Venetian castle of Akrotiri. Was built in the first century of the Venetian rule by the occupiers, as a shelter and a refuge. The castle provides a unique panoramic view and you can visit it for FREE!!! Only 2 minutes walk from the property!

The castle was built in the 13th century by the Republic of Venice, which occupied Santorini in 1207. Eager to fortify the island, the Venetians built a series of fortresses and watchtowers at strategic points around the island. Near the small village on the slope of Akrotiri, Venetian engineers built a new castle on top of the pre-existing Byzantine observatory. The castle became one of the most defensible places on the island. The fortress did not fall for several hundred years. It was finally surrendered to the Turks in 1617 during the Venetian-Turkish wars. The castle was in relatively good condition until 1956, when an earthquake turned it into ruins
