Lamia's medieval castle commands great views atop a wooded hill directly above the centre, a steep 1km hike or longer drive up. Within its walls, the city’s old-school Archaeological Museum displays local finds from Neolithic to Roman times. Look out for an amazing wreath of golden myrtle leaves from the early Hellenistic era, around 200 BC.
