Plaka Castle | Greece Photo Spot

Plaka Castle, also known as the Venetian Castle of Milos, is a historic fortress situated atop the highest hill of Plaka. Built by the Venetians in the 13th century, the castle offers photographers a wealth of historical and architectural details to capture, from its ancient stone walls to the remnants of its medieval structures. The castle’s elevation provides breathtaking panoramic views over the Aegean Sea and the village of Plaka, creating an impressive backdrop for landscape photography, particularly at sunrise or sunset when the light bathes the scene in dramatic hues. The uphill trek to the castle also takes you through the charming narrow streets of Plaka, with its traditional Cycladic architecture, adding another dimension of interest for photographers. Whether you’re interested in historical architecture, stunning landscapes, or capturing the unique atmosphere of a Greek island, Plaka Castle is a must-visit photo spot.
