In this hike we will be able to immerse ourselves in the era of the early Roman knights. We will visit a unique “Byzantine” (Eastern Roman) fortress and admire the fantastic views of the north west coast on this ramble along ancient paths and country lanes.
Built on top of a green hill with very old olive trees, there is an ancient village with a history that goes back to the 13th century A.D. Probably the first inhabitants were craftsmen who have helped in the building of this famous “Angelokastro” (Angel’s Castle).
The most important path, the “bricklayer path” connects this castle with a wonderful coast situated on the west of Corfu, the famous “Saint Georges” beach, small port of the past era, where all the supplies were disembarked before getting into the castle by that path.
Highlight is the “Makrades” village, known for its old architecture, maintained until today.
