Amazing Views down over Rize. You need to take taxi or get a bus up here, it's a bit too far to walk. Lots of renovation works going on when we visited which I am sure will be soon Finished.
-
The view is amazing over rize, the place is still under work but still the view is worth the effort!
-
Little left from the castle structure but part of the area is being turned to a cafe which is located at an elevated location. It provides a panoramic beautiful view of the Rize City.
