Bizans döneminde dik yamaçlı bir tepenin üzerine Gebze limanını korumak amacıyla inşa edilen Eskihisar Kalesi, Gebze’ye bağlı bir yerleşim yeri olan Eskihisar’da bulunuyor. Çevresinde birkaç kapı daha bulunmasına karşın, Eskihisar Kalesi’nin ana girişi iki kule arasındaki giriştir. İç ve dış olmak üzere iki kısımdan oluşan kalenin iç tarafındaki kalesine giriş mümkün değil, yalnızca Kocaeli Belediyesi‘nin düzenlediği tiyatro, konser gibi çeşitli etkinlik günlerinde açılıyor iç kalenin kapıları. I. Manuel Kommenos tarafından inşa edildiği düşünülen dikdörtgen planlı kalenin altında 8 sütunlu bir Bizans sarnıcı ve yaklaşık bin kişilik tiyatro ortaya çıkarılmış. İstanbul’a 70 km mesafede olan Eskihisar Kalesi ziyarete açık olmadığı için görülmeye değer bir şey olmadığını düşünebilirsiniz.

Kocaeli Feribot İskelesi‘nin de bulunduğu kalenin ön tarafına ulaşmak mümkün. Kalenin solundan aşağıya doğru uzanan toprak yoldan ilerlediğiniz takdirde aracınızı park edebileceğiniz bir park alanı dahi bulabileceksiniz.

Filleri, Roma’ya karşı savaş aracı olarak kullanan Kartacalı kahraman Hannibal‘a ait olan ve Atatürk’ün özel isteğiyle inşa edilen anıt ise ziyaret edebileceğiniz diğer bir yapıdır. Hannibal Anıtı, TUBİTAK sınırları...

The Castle of Niketiaton is located by the shore near the entrance to the Gulf of Nicomedia 42 km west of Nicomedia (modern İzmit).

Cool castle that looks to be set up for shows in the courtyard like an amphitheater. The front building and ticket/information booth seemed to be gutted and possibly being renovated.

The castle was closed when we arrived but google says it’s opened so they must be doing repairs due to the state of the entrance buildings.

There is lots of parking there and down the hill where there is a small playground and a walkway...
