Andros Castle: The Kastro (Castle) of Faneromeni on Andros Greece, Cyclades

 

 

Andros Kastro Faneromenis (Castle): The Kastro Faneromenis is undoubtedly one of the most enduring monuments of the island of Andros. The castle is ideally located in close proximity to Kochylou, from where one can have access to the castle.

The Kastro Faneromenis dates back to middle-ages and it was built to ward off pirate attacks on the island. The location of the castle is very strategic with a terrain which is literally inaccessible and at the same time offering endless sea vistas to keep an eye on the pirates.

The interior of the Castle is well protected by impregnable walls and some portions of the wall are still in very good conditions. Visitors to the castle can view the vestiges and remnants of a number of structures that stood here.
Legend has it that there exist a few tunnels which extended all the way

By far the best time to visit the Kastro Faneromenis is during the Festival of Panagia Faneromeni, which is held in mid August every year.
