Antimachia Castle
Κάστρο Αντιμάχειας
A large inland castle built by the Knights of St John in the 14th century, with two small chapels within its walls and views over the sea on both the north and south sides of the island.
The castle stands on the central plateau of the island. The Knights Hospitaller of St John built it as a refuge and fortification. Its walls are long and largely intact, and the coat of arms of the Order's Grand Master sits above the entrance. Inside, the grounds are mostly open, with two preserved small chapels, St Nicholas and St Paraskevi. Entry is free, the views are wide, and you can see Nisyros in the distance. It is an easy stop on the way to Kardamena or the southwest beaches.
