Well worth the all day trip - Absolutely amazing that anyone could build such a magnificent structure on the side of a mountain. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the entire area and I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone traveling to Greece. It is a really fascinating piece of history with plenty of artifacts, literature and clothing from the 11th-16th century on display.
