Cheimarrou Tower, Hellenistic fortified tower in Naxos, Greece.
The circular marble tower stands 15 meters tall with a 9.2-meter external diameter, featuring defensive arrow slits and a single entrance on its southern side.
Built during the 4th-3rd century BCE, the tower served military purposes and included three floors supported by wooden beams, as evidenced by surviving wall sockets.
The tower demonstrates the advanced construction methods of ancient Greek stonework, with massive marble blocks fitted together without mortar or binding materials.
Located between Mount Zas and the sea in southeastern Naxos, the tower remains accessible through a marked path from the village of Filoti.
The structure includes a square perimeter wall and was constructed directly above the marble quarry that provided its building materials.
