In the southern, mountainous part of Corinthia — country few visitors ever cross — stands Angelokastro. The village of the same name takes its name from the castle.
The position
The fort occupies a naturally protected site commanding the mountain passes towards the Argolid and the Saronic. The choice reflects the logic of the medieval Peloponnese: small castles at every critical pass, rather than a few large ones.
What you will see
Sections of wall and fortification with wide views over the mountain landscape. The site is open and completely undeveloped.
Practical notes
- Reached from the village of Angelokastro; the road is mountainous.
- No facilities, water or shade.
- Ideal for anyone looking for the unknown side of the region.
