It was noticable the natural beaty of the tower . Terrific view . Lack of supporting team as well as some excecutives to explain the significant history of the monument .

If you have some spare time in Ouranoupolis why not visit this old Byzantine tower from 14th century. It's a landmark of the town, just next to the harbour. Tower is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9am till 5pm. Entrance fee is 2 euros nowadays - for that you can visit a small exhibition of finds of the area and read some information on history of the tower itself. You can also climb few floors up but the rooms are practically empty as the works on the planned exhibition is still not finished. From outside it's quite nice structure, although the wooden balconies are not in good condition - I hope they will be saved or reconstructed.

There is very little in this part of Greece. Great food, lovely people, sea, sun, water, and a very old tower. Go see it there is nothing else

The tower is seen from a great distance and is a rather spectacular sight. But the wiev from the inside is not nearly so spectacular. The exibition inside is rather mediocre, but it is a shame not to visit the tower when in Ouranopolis. If nothing else, just to taste a little bit of antiquitu and Byzantine imperial greatnst.

Byzantine tower of Ouranoupoli is the landmark of the area and very impressive from outside. It is most probably the only byzantine tower in Greece in such good condition. On the other hand inside the tower it is not much to see. So do not waste your time and money to get inside.

This beautiful Byzantine Tower is the first thing you see of Ouranoupolis. The tower dominates the scenery from all areas. Is probably the most photographed area of the town. Make sure that you take pictures from the sea if you are taking the cruise for Mount Athos.

This was an interesting place to visit but several rooms were empty due to redevelopment. Disappointing that all windows were closed on the way up & there was no access to the top.
