Greece Holiday 2013-06-17 Naxos Bus Tour #2

This tour took us to Danakos (oil press & pottery studio), Chalki, Filoti (drive by), Aperanthou, (lunch), and Apollonas (kouros).

Ayias Tower is built on a high cliff overlooking the sea.

The tower is typical of medieval defensive design. It has a narrow, steep stone stairway climbing to a second story entrance. The doorway is little more that a hatch – making it very difficult for armed soldiers to break in. There are only a few small windows (probably used only by guards), and none of these is below the third story.
