Agios Petros Tower
AGIOS PETROS (ST. PETER’S) TOWER
The Tower of St. Peter is of great interest for the visitors. It is cylindrical, preserved to a height of about 20 m. and was built during the Hellenistic period (4th-3rd century BC). Its base diameter is 9.40 m. and is constructed entirely from local schist. Inside there is a spiral staircase leading to at least five floors. The tower is built in a very privileged position, as it is located on the plain of Gavrio, offering control of land and sea. Around the monument there are also metal mines (copper), which functioned until the beginning of the century.
Location: At St. Peter village, in the area of Gavrio.
How to get there: By car, following the road from Gavrio to St. Peter village.
