Review & FAQ:

On the Akritas cape in southwestern Peloponnese sits the Castle of Koroni with an early history that goes back to the 7th century AD, although the fortification was constructed and completed in the 13th century by the Venetians. The structure sits on the former acropolis of Asini before the Byzantines erected a fortress there during the 6th or 7th century AD. It would later fall under different ownership when the Franks ruled the area in the 13th century before relinquishing it to the Venetians, then falling under Turkish occupation. Today, there is a convent in the castle.
