The castle of Monolithos was built on the foundations of another, older castle, and lies about 236m high on an amazingly difficult natural terrain, which made its construction even more challenging, near the village of Monolithos.
Monolithos castle was built in 1480 by the Knights of Saint John
Few ruins remain, bit the location offers great views of the sea and the two islets opposite to it
Access to the castle is by a staircase cut into the rock
The distance from Rhodes is about 70Km (1h 30min drive)
