Founded in 1413 by a Venetian official by the name of Giovanni Querini, the Castle of Astypalaia sits on the site of a former acropolis. Situated in Chora, the capital and port of Astypalaia, the castle features a surrounding wall and only one entrance, located on the southwest side, as well as a tower and two white-walled churches: Panagia Castriana, which dates back to 1853 and Agios Georgios, built in 1790. From its position, visitors enjoy a stunning vantage point of the surrounding area.
