Few remains of a ruined tower in the region Trapouria in eastern Attica, on a low rocky hill above the chapel of Agios Demetrios. The location is south of the town “Kalyvia” and east of the seaside settlement “Olympos”.
The tower is ancient but it remained in use in later periods as well, because on the hill, during the Middle Ages existed a settlement. Around the tower, at some distance, there are remains of a fortification wall, which was probably ancient too.
We do not have more info about the tower and the medieval settlement.
