The Michelin Guide's review
An ideal spot from which to survey the entrance to the Ionian Sea, the promontory occupied by the Castle of Methoni was the site of an ancient city then a medieval town. This formidable fortress, which was also lived in, was built by the Venetians before it became the property of the Ottomans for 300 years; in 1828 it was seized by the French General Maison. Don't miss the Bourdzi Tower (16C) or the view from the rampart walk.
