Directions
The bastion of Achilles
As you walk along, you will enjoy spectacular views. The path is fairly easy. Soon you will arrive at a ditch separating Themistocles from the next bastion. It is an otherworldly landscape. You need to take the cobblestone route to the right. Eventually, you will come across a large open area. There is a panel identifying the site as the bastion of Achilles. Walk to the Bastion’s very end. From the walls you will see another bastion, which is the last one. You do not need to visit it, unless you feel like seeing everything. From the bastion’s left-hand corner (marked by a dilapidated guard tower) you can see the parking lot and understand how vulnerable this area was to enemy attack.
