Dimitrios Apartments
In the town are some enormous Venetian wells whose marble rims are furrowed by the pressure of huge ropes over the centuries. Homer called Methoni rich in vines and tradition maintains that the town is so called because the donkeys (onoi) carrying its wine used to get drunk (methoun), from the heady aroma.
You enter the castle by crossing a massive bridge, impressed by the gigantic walls, imposing bastions and monumental gales. To the south another bridge unites the citadel with the Bourtzi, a fortified islet with casemates and towers.
