Castle of Oria :


Click on an image to enlarge
   
At the north part of the island, just before
cape Kefalos and between the hills of Sklavo
and Gialoudi, you will find the Castle of Oria.
 
 
It used to be the old capital city of the
island, which was deserted by the Venetians
and was moved to Messaria, when the
Turks destroyed it around 1570.
 
 
Today,
there are only some remains of the houses
and of two churches, as well as parts of the
hagiographies.
 
 
The view from the area of the Castle is
unique, but to reach it we recommend to
first ask for detailed instructions on how to
get there, since the path that leads there is
not well preserved.
