Molyvos Castle

The walk up to the castle is scenic and rewarding with beautiful views along the way. You can also access by car. But beware, it is very steep hill with cobblestone roads. do not bother if you’re not accustomed to this driving. Once at the top, the panoramic views over Molyvos village and the sea are absolutely stunning, especially close to sunset. The atmosphere is calm and full of history which makes the visit feel special and unhurried. It is a perfect spot for photos and for simply enjoying the moment. We really enjoyed exploring the castle grounds and taking in the surroundings. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lesvos and looking for a memorable and relaxing experience.

Amazing experience. The walk down was incredible, winding your way down the narrow alley ways. Some of the steps and slopes were a bit precarious, but just take your time

I’ve been there 10 years ago and now i wanted to share the photos that i found in my device. The view was perfect

We walked up to the castle from the beach, it a fair walk to get there but on the way there are some beautiful houses. There is also some lovely shops, restaurants and bars. The castle itself is very old with lots of history, it has some beautiful views across Molyvos. It is a bit of a ruin but you can see its strategic importance to the area. It was very cheap to enter and it helps pay for further restoration.

It gets very hot during the day so go up early in the morning. Or go at night, you can't go inside but you can walk around and have dinner next door. It's lit up at night beautifully. The view is great here and historically it's an interesting place.

Generally a pile of rocks, not much inside but maybe I'm just an ignorant. The receptionist is a kind man. The cat guards the premises.

Very enjoyable walk around, doesn't take too long, beautiful views of Molyvos & the island, plenty of beaches in nice shady areas when hot, a few step but nothing too bad in general. Not open Tuesdays.

It is possible to get there from the town of Molivos by a pleasant but steep and tiring walk through the back streets or by car. The view of the Aegean Sea from the castle is excellent. Enjoy the view by having a drink at the cafe next to the castle. There is a fee to enter the castle. However, there is nothing to see inside the castle that is worth the fee. My personal opinion is that it is not worth it.

What a great location! We went there just before closing and the views were simply, breathtaking. Worth every step it took to get there. Just beware of the heat and heatstroke because the location is at the top of a hill and exposed to the Grecian sun. Pay special attention to the marble remains of the past, they seem filled with history and storytelling.

Great views. It is a steep climb with lots of steps on the entrance side. Much more gradual incline on the side we went down. Keep an eye on children if you bring them up here. There are no railings on anywhere. Some places it’s a drop of 10 feet others it’s over the side of the castle. That being said, great views.
