The castle of Skiathos

The castle of Skiathos
Built on a giant rock, it is located on the North side of the island, about 15 km from the country of Skiathos.
The Castle was founded in the 14th century, around 1360. Due to piracy, the Skiathians abandoned the Byzantine town, which is where the town of Skiathos is today, and built the medieval settlement of Kastro on the northern end of the island. As the fortress was inaccessible by the sea and accessed only by the mobile wooden bridge, it provided residents with relative protection.
