Lykourgos Logothetis Castle
Lykourgos Logothetis, leader of the Samian revolution against the Turks, built it in 1824. Its purpose was to protect the people of Samos and the port of Pythagorio in general against the Turkish attacks.

  4. I agree with Leif and Lois: the stonework is amazing. The structure is so perfectly kept that I guess it has been restored.

  5. Yes, my thought was the same as Brattcat's. Did the castle manage to stop the Turks invading the island?
