The 15m high circular double wall tower of Cheimarros (one of the tallest monuments of its sort, initially its height was 17 metres) is apparently going to receive a face lift. The tower was constructed at the end of the 4th century BC for defence purposes from local white marble without a binding agent. It was put together so skillfully that it remained intact for centuries, nonetheless it is in dire need of a face lift.
According to historians, the Cheimarros Tower was declared an archaeological monument in 2011. At the same time, two adjacent Byzantine churches, a part of an ancient road as well as a section of the Tower's fencing wall were also catalogued as ancient ruins.
