Regarding the Castle of Pylios (or Peripatos), its location is not clear from the written sources, nor have any ruins been identified that can be identified with absolute certainty. Archaeologists believe that it must have been located in the current settlement of Pyli of Kos and identify the Peripatos Castle with the medieval ruins located near the source of the village of Pyli. The castle of the 11th c. It dominates a hill while the view towards the northern coasts of Kos, the coasts of Asia Minor, the nearby islands of the Dodecanese is amazing.
In Pyli, in addition to the castle, you will also see the ruined medieval settlement, located on top of a hill on Mount Dikaion. In the abandoned settlement is also the church of Panagia ton Kastriana (14th century) with excellent frescoes, a wood-carved icon while the use of building material from an ancient church is evident.
