    Interesting history and lovely views

    Sitting high above the city, at the top of Ano Poli, this complex once guarded the city and then turned into a notorious prison. Well worth the climb!

    A prison till 1989!

    It's sobering to think of men being locked up here as recently as 1989. On the other hand, not much to see. Large sections locked off. Good views from the top.
