点评:Tuesday 22nd September and we visited the fishing village of Kassiopi on the northeastern coast of Corfu.
One of the features of the village are the ruins of it's old castle which overlooks the harbour.
We did make our way up to the ruins, the pathway starts directly across the road from the old Byzantine Church, in the village.
It all started off well with the first section of the path being paved, it soon deteriorated. At one point it became a track with exposed pipework, not sure what but not good to walk on. Overall it was steep and times not easy underfoot, definitely no wheelchair access and not suitable for people with lower limb problems.
There was no entry fee here and the most impressive part was the restored entrance gateway and archway.
We were able to go out on to one of the ramparts here we got good views over the village and harbour below.
Certain areas were boarded up and access was not permitted, we assumed it was unsafe. In another section that had been boarded up, the wood had rotted and we could see in. We were able to see some wooden beams that would have supported a floor and rafters to support the roof, it was all just overgrown here.
There were certain areas which were in good order at the top and front of the building, where the flag was flying, public access was not permitted.
The centre part of the Castle there are a large number of olive trees with other trees alongside.
On the way up we did see a sign that informed us that the ruins were enhanced and improved back in 2022 at a cost of €555,000. It was possible to see where works had been undertaken, sadly it was not maintained. All of the lighting around the pavement, in the Castle were broken.
The best bit was definitely the view, the climb up was a bit iffy and not much of the castle to see
翻译:9月22日星期二,我们参观了科孚岛东北海岸的卡西奥皮渔村。
这个村庄的一大特色就是那座俯瞰着港口的古城堡遗址。
我们确实走上了通往遗址的路,小径就从村里那座古老的拜占庭风格教堂对面的马路上开始。
起初一切顺利,小径的前半段还铺有路面,但没过多久状况就变差了。到了某个地方,它变成了一条布满裸露管道的小路。不确定是什么,但地面不适合行走。总体而言坡度很陡,有些地方行走起来也很困难;绝对无法供轮椅通行,也不适合腿部有不适的人。
这里不收取门票,最令人赞叹的部分就是修复后的入口大门和拱门。
我们得以走上这里的城墙,从那里可以俯瞰下方的村庄与港口,视野极佳。
有些区域用木板封上了,禁止进入,我们推测是因为存在安全隐患。在另一个被木板封住的区域,木板已经腐烂,我们得以向内窥视。我们看到了一些原本用来支撑楼层的木梁以及支撑屋顶的椽子,只不过那里现在杂草丛生。
在建筑物的顶部和正面,有一些区域状况良好,那里飘扬着旗帜,但不允许公众进入。
城堡的中央区域种植着大量橄榄树,周围还有其他树木。在上山途中,我们确实看到了一个标志牌,上面写着这些遗迹在2022年进行了修缮与改良,耗资55.5万欧元。我们能看出哪些地方曾经进行过施工,可惜后来没有得到维护。城堡内及人行道上的所有照明设施都坏了。
最棒的部分绝对是景色,不过攀登过程有些艰难,而且城堡本身也没什么可看的。
