Took the ferry from Corfu city to Saranda on day trip. Long day but well worth the effort. Was feeling fit so walked what felt like 10 miles upto and back from the castle, but there are plenty of taxis if desired. Found it strange that 75 percent of the population drive around in black or dark blue 25/30 year old benz's. Very few other visitors at the castle and only one staff member in the bar. The restaurant looked permanently closed for the season. Fantastic views of the surrounding countryside, coast and Saranda.

W had a hire car and drove up to this castle late one afternoon. The place was virtually deserted and the restaurant was just starting to get things organised for the evening. It was a beautiful hot day that had just started to cool down with clear blue skies. What awaited us up there was something quite extraordinary, the views all around Sarande from the mountains on one side to the coast on the other were quite astonishing. I've seen some mesmerising views on my travels and this one is certainly up there with the best. We did not venture into the castle or even really pay attention to it, but you must not miss this opportunity to witness these views. I have some of the most memorable videos and photos I'll never forget!

Visited here on a Friday evening. When we arrived, there was a posher restaurant we were sat in. However realised then that there was a pizza restaurant underneath, which had more space for our kids to run around so we went down there! Both have beautiful views. The view is stunning and get it on a sunny night with no cloud, beautiful. It was no where near as busy as we expected with everyone being able to see the view. I would suggest coming for the view then sitting down for dinner. We were attacked by wasps which is no one’s fault but they disappeared quickly when the sun went down! After Sun went down, we went down to a bit where drinks were served on bean bags. Again lovely spot and the city was lit up so nice views. Pricey drinks compared to other parts but food was average price and delicious pizzas! When we were leaving, live music was coming on. We got a taxi from Bougainville bay and it was 1500lek one way. Definitely recommend a visit!

This is a must if visiting Sarande. Its a beautiful view. There’s 2 restaurants and a bar there, but you dont need to order anything, you can just go for the photographs and the view. Best time to go is before the sunset. We are thinking to do a second visit, as it was so nice

Here you will have the best view of the sunset. I am visiting the castle for the second time after 3 years and I am delighted. Although I haven't sat in the restaurant, I still think the prices are high, but you don't have to sit in a restaurant. Just come and enjoy the sunset. From here you can see the whole of Saranda. Come early at sunset to find a parking spot. In the summer period, there are often crowds. There is no entrance fee to the castle.

Really nice place to have some drinks and watch the sunset. You can also eat some delicious pizza and enjoy a really good evening with family and friends. To get there it is better to do it with a taxi and if you can get the number of your driver so you would be picked up when you are ready.
