Tower of the Winds - Horologion of Andronicos (Αέρηδες - Ωρολόγιο του Κυρρήστου)
We're going to explore the city today. We'll start with the Wind Tower. This ancient building was built around 51 years BC! Given that it has been worth more than two millennia, it has been perfectly preserved.
This tower is considered the ancestor of all watch towers on Earth! The images of eight winds were carved on its eight edges. In XIX century it was used as a bell tower. And look at the views from this tower, as if you were right in ancient Greece.

Yiasemi (Γιασεμί)
After this experience, breakfast would be nice. The cafe is right next to the tower, in a historical place, so it's never empty. It was delicious and atmospheric. If you're not hungry, you can at least come in for a cup of coffee.
