The Tower of Akrotiri in Santorini (Castellum)

The tower is located at the top of the castellum of Akrotiri, that is, in the center of the fortified settlement core that once existed in this place. Nowadays, a few fragments are saved from the castellum, while the tower dominates the top of the hill in a different form than originally, because of the serious damage it suffered during the devastating earthquake of 1956.

During medieval times, Akrotiri was one of the island's castella and was called La Ponta. During the Ottoman period, the tower was named Goulas (γούλας <κουλάς Turkish kule: "tower").

Being faithful to the architecture and tradition of our island, we constructed the old traditional style using contemporary materials from Thira, such as local stone, marble, sham, giving the building a sense of luxurious and unobtrusive traditional residence with the most modern and functional amenities.
