Castle of Antimacheia

This proud fortress standing high above the sea is not just a symbol of the former might of the Knights of St. John. These days it also reminds us that overbuilt, tourist-oriented Kos has a proud past and had some historical clout. Plus, the cool stone interiors and views over verdant hillsides to the sparkling sea are a refreshing tonic and nice break from the beach.
