Back to the castle. We drove up to it from the east and it was breathtaking, like a stone crown on a hilltop. Although we could not go inside, walking around its impressive perimeter and taking in the vistas was more than worth the visit.

On that hot, dry hilltop, we were greeted by a couple of hungry, homeless dogs – a mom and her pup. Fortunately, we had some food scraps for them. It seems that no matter where you go in Greece, there are homeless dogs, so if you are a dog lover, keep a supply of scraps with you.
