Road map to Castle of Dokos

Access
Approach to the monument:
The island -and the castle- can be accessed only by boat. The castle covers the most part of the rough terrain of the island.
Entrance:
Like most remote, ruined and neglected fortifications, entrance is not an issue. The difficult part is to approach the castle and walk around inside.
