Neokastro
The Turkish fortress above the harbor, known as Neokastro to distinguish it from an earlier fortress, now contains a small museum in a restored 19th-century barracks. The museum features the extensive collection of maps, prints, and watercolors of the French philhellene Rene Puaux, as well as a number of marvelously kitschy porcelain figurines of the English philhellene Lord Byron. Neokastro also contains a small church (clearly a former mosque), fortification walls, shade trees, beds of geraniums and roses, and views over the harbor. It's nice place to sit and relax.
