Climb up the walls and enjoy the beauty of a bird's-eye view
Zakimi Castle is situated on a hill at a 120-meter elevation, which allows one to climb the walls and overlook from high above. The sea is sparkling in the distance and the cloud-free skies turn blood orange in color. The lights and shades that change with the passage of time create different charms every moment.
