Kaleköy & Kastro Castle
Kaleköy / Kastro
A small fishing village on the north coast, with the ruins of a Genoese castle on the hilltop. Harbor fish restaurants offer views of Aegean sunsets and the distant island of Samothrace.
Kaleköy (known in Greek as Kastro) is divided into a newer harbor village and an older village on the hillside. At the top of the old village stand the ruins of a medieval castle, with views to Samothrace and Limnos. The harbor has fishing boats, seafood restaurants and small bars, and eating grilled fish while watching the sunset is one of the island’s classic experiences. Just offshore lies an underwater national park, and nearby are small swimming coves and diving centers. It is about 5 km from the town center.
