Methoni Castle
#tesaruonbudget
Visiting Methoni Castle was one of the cheapest yet richest experiences of my trip. The fortress is huge and filled with history, and the views of the sea are breathtaking. I loved how the Bourtzi tower is surrounded by water, giving it a magical feel. I kept costs low by walking from my guesthouse instead of taking a taxi and packing my own food. The entry fee was small, and the value was enormous. For budget travelers, Methoni offers beauty, history, and a touch of fantasy without draining your wallet. #tesaruonbudget

Methoni Castle is a paradise for budget travelers who love history and the sea. For a few euros, I spent hours inside a Venetian fortress overlooking turquoise waters. The Bourtzi tower is the highlight — it feels like a fairytale castle on the water. I bought a cheap snack in town before entering and enjoyed it inside the walls with an amazing view. I didn’t need to spend on anything else. Experiences like this remind me why budget travel is so rewarding: big adventures at small costs. #tesaruonbudget

What amazed me about Methoni Castle was how much it offered for such a small price. The entrance fee is minimal, but the scale of the fortress is massive. You can walk along the walls, explore gates, and cross to the tower surrounded by the sea. I skipped the guided tours and just wandered at my own pace, which saved me money and gave me freedom. The sound of the waves and the views of the Ionian Sea made the experience priceless. For budget travelers, Methoni is one of the best values in Greece. #tesaruonbudget

Methoni Castle is easily one of the most budget-friendly historic sites I visited in Greece. The small entrance fee gave me hours of exploration. The fortress is huge — walking its paths felt like a mix of history and adventure. The highlight was the Bourtzi tower, standing on a little island with waves all around. I brought fruit and water from a minimarket to avoid overpriced tourist options. The whole experience felt grand and epic but cost me less than €5. A real win for budget-conscious travelers. #tesaruonbudget

The best part about Methoni Castle is the incredible value. For a small ticket fee, you get access to a massive Venetian fortress with towers, gates, and even a little island connected by a causeway. It felt like stepping into another world. I avoided the cafés nearby and instead packed my own food, which kept the day super cheap. Sitting on the fortress wall, eating my sandwich while watching the waves crash below, was unforgettable. Methoni offers history, beauty, and romance on a budget — perfect for travelers like me. #tesaruonbudget

Methoni Castle
Methoni Castle blew me away with its size and beauty. The entry fee was just a few euros, and for that, I got to wander through one of the largest Venetian fortresses in Greece. The sea surrounds it on three sides, and the Bourtzi tower at the edge feels like something out of a pirate story. I saved money by bringing water and snacks, so I spent nearly nothing inside. Hours of exploration, breathtaking sea views, and rich history — all for less than the price of a coffee in Athens. A budget traveler’s dream. #tesaruonbudget

Methoni Castle, Messinia
#summervacay
Methoni Castle feels like something from Game of Thrones. It juts out into the sea, connected to the mainland by a stone bridge, and surrounded by crashing waves. I walked through massive gates, explored old towers, and stood in the shade of a Venetian fortress built centuries ago. There’s barely anyone around, so it feels personal and immersive. After exploring, I had fresh grilled sardines at a beach taverna nearby. History, nature, and good food—my favorite trio.

During my summer vacation, I had the chance to explore Methoni Castle, and it was an unforgettable experience. Located in the charming town of Methoni in the Messinia region of Greece, this fortress is a stunning example of medieval architecture. The entrance fee was only €3, which felt like a steal for the rich history and impressive views you get.
The castle’s walls, towers, and moat are remarkably well-preserved, and wandering through the stone passageways made me feel like I was stepping back in time. The panoramic views of the Ionian Sea from the castle are absolutely breathtaking. 🏰🌊 Nearby, the picturesque town of Methoni offers lovely cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy local Greek cuisine and take in the seaside atmosphere. Additionally, the nearby Bourtzi Castle on a small islet is worth a visit, adding another layer of historical intrigue to the trip.
Overall, Methoni Castle was a highlight of my trip, blending historical depth with beautiful scenery.
