OURANOUPOLI TOWER
Go there and contact
Ouranoupoli's landmark building: a 22-metre-high tower dating from the or century, which today houses a small museum.
This mighty 22 m-high rectangular tower (Πύργος της Ουρανούπολης/Pyrgos tis Ouranoupolis) has dominated the port and beach of Ouranoupoli since the 12th or 13th century. Partly rebuilt after a fire in 1821, it houses a two-storey (staircase) museum devoted to local traditions, the monasteries of Athos, and also the Lochs, a couple of Anglo-Australian benefactors who lived here in the 1920s-1970s. The tower originally belonged to the Athonite monastery of Vatopedi. Nearby: parking and bus to Thessaloniki.

The view is so beautiful, the breakfast is nice, and the workers are fantastic!
Honestly! I have never been in any hotel where at the end they gave us a gift, a souvenir! We felt so much warm welcomed!
We will for sure go back!
