Kos Town Castle
Neratzia Castle, Kos Overview
Neratzia Castle, or the Kos Town Castle, is a 15th Century fortress built by the Knights of the Order of St. John. The strategic architecture is impressive right from the entrance with the stone bridge (Neratzia Bridge) that connects to the mainland of Kos near the Hippocrates Tree, the outer wall which forms a part of the harbor wall, and the two-precinct castle itself of massive proportions. The tower also has a beautiful view of the Aegean Sea and a castle on the other side of the Turkey coast.
Many parts of the castle were closed following an earthquake in 2017. Safety officers may not always be present, so visitors must be careful of rail-free steps, which can get slippery. There aren’t many labels or instruction panels to explain the significance of each part of the castle.
