Monuments

ABOUT

The Askyfou Fortress consists of two koules, small towers, strategically positioned on the Askyfou Plateau, marking a site of significant historical importance for the region.

During the Cretan Revolution of 1866, the Turks built watchtowers in different areas of the island.

At this location, you'll encounter two koules situated on separate hills, each at a short distance from the other and boasting the same height.
