What people say

"This will take you through the narrow streets, past the church with the blue-domed roof, and down to the water where you’ll find Andros Castle. The views of the bay from here are just stunning. Right on the tip of Chora peninsula lies the crumbling ruins of Lower Castle (also known as Andros Castle). I climbed over the bridge a couple of times while I was in Chora. It’s only about 5 steps to the top of the bridge, then it’s a lot easier walking over to the island. Once you climb up to the castle, you have the most beautiful views looking back at the town. I came up here one evening for sunset and it was such a peaceful spot. Built during the Dandolo dynasty (1207-1233), this was once one of the most important castles in the Aegean. The castle was in very good condition until WWII when it was bombed by the Germans in 1943 – it’s such a shame as it would’ve been amazing seeing the castle in its original state. You can actually get over to the ruins of the castle via the stone arch bridge. Don’t worry, it’s a lot scarier than it looks!"
"This is a beautiful site to walk around and explore and imagine the history of. The castle was completely destroyed by the Germans in the war but the remains are incredible to see and provide for really beautiful views. "
