This formidable fortification is spectacular. First of all, it was (and is) in a great location, overlooking the sea. Walking through this area was like stepping back in time.

To stand under this gives a true perspective of its size, and the representation of Zeus in the form of a bull with Europa sitting on him is amazing when you find out the story behind it, if you're interested in the history of the Greeks then this is a must to see, and its free in a public place bonus!
