A majestic castle at sunset – stunning, vast, and a bit neglected
Methoni Castle的点评
点评：A majestic castle at sunset – stunning, vast, and a bit neglected
The Castle of Methoni (also known as Modon) is one of the largest and most impressive Venetian fortresses in the entire Mediterranean. Its size alone is enough to leave you speechless, and the location – stretching out into the sea with a small watchtower on an island connected by a bridge – makes it absolutely worth a visit.
Entrance is €5, but as in many Greek sites, EU citizens under 25 can enter for free. I highly recommend visiting in the late afternoon so you can enjoy the magical light of the sunset. Walking along the bastions or across the main square as the sun goes down is an unforgettable experience. Unfortunately, the castle closes at 8 PM, so you only get a glimpse of the sunset before having to leave. It’s a shame, because it would be amazing to stay longer.
That said, it’s clear the site isn’t very well maintained. There’s no map, no real signage, and some areas feel almost abandoned. You can explore freely, but some parts can be unsafe due to lack of barriers or upkeep – especially near the higher bastion areas. Still, that raw, unpolished charm adds something unique.
In the end, I strongly recommend it. Methoni itself is a lovely town, and this castle is absolutely a must-see if you’re in the area.

翻译：雄伟的城堡在日落时分——令人惊叹，浩瀚无垠，却略显荒凉
迈索尼城堡（又称莫东城堡）是整个地中海地区规模最大、最令人印象深刻的威尼斯堡垒之一。它的大小足以令人叹为观止，而其地理位置——延伸至海中，岛上一座由桥梁连接的小型瞭望塔——也绝对值得一游。
门票5欧元，但与许多希腊景点一样，25岁以下的欧盟公民可以免费入场。我强烈建议您在傍晚时分参观，这样您可以欣赏到日落的迷人光芒。在夕阳西下时沿着堡垒漫步或穿过主广场，定会是一次难忘的体验。可惜的是，城堡晚上8点关闭，所以您只能在离开前欣赏到一小段日落。这很遗憾，因为如果能多待一会儿就更好了。
话虽如此，但显然这座城堡的维护并不好。这里没有地图，也没有真正的标识，有些区域感觉几乎荒废了。你可以自由探索，但有些地方由于缺乏屏障或维护，可能不太安全——尤其是在地势较高的堡垒附近。即便如此，这种原始、未经雕琢的魅力也增添了独特的魅力。
最后，我强烈推荐这里。迈索尼本身就是一座美丽的小镇，如果你在附近，这座城堡绝对值得一看。
