A big part of its boundary walls survive as well as the features of a Venetian fortress. Narrow little streets, loggias, beautiful two-storey houses, superb old mansions and 16th and 17th century churches with ornamental floors are participating to the incredible beauty of Kastro.

Venetian coats of arms and ancient wall-fragments can still be seen on most of the houses of the village.

Visitors can also see some remains of the ancient acropolis and a small archaeological museum. Rooms for rent, taverns, bars and cafes participate to the full contentment of the visitor.
