A small castle on a low hill in the village Mikro Chorio of Telos.

Mikro Chorio was a medieval settlement founded by the Knights of St John in the 15th century. It was inhabited until 1940, when the population moved to Livadia, at the eastern coast, taking with them the doors, the windows and the roofs of their old houses!
