“Nice little castle to visit if you're already in the area. The entrance fee is 300 Lek per person, which is reasonable for a short visit. It's pleasant to walk around, but there isn't much information available about the history or the site itself. Worth a quick stop, but don't expect to spend a lot of time here.”

“Can get busy, but it’s an interesting castle and worth checking out for 300 lek. It’s an easy spot to get some nice drone footage. We visited early June mid day and it was pretty empty. I can imagine this place getting overcrowded easily in high season as it’s a popular stop for groups and tour operators.”

“Just letting you guys know that they charge 300lek pp for the visit. But yeah overall a nice 30-1hr tour. Tiny castle with nice view! Combine with a beach day n it’s worth the trip.”

“Although this castle is not that old relatively, it is definitely a good place to visit. The driving route towards the castle is simply breathtaking. The views up the castle is fantastic too. Enough parking space is available. Worth spending a couple of hours here.”
