Gythio Sights & Monuments - The Tzanetakis Tower in Gythio, Peloponnese, is a remarkable and well-maintained construction located in the heart of Kranae, a small islet that overlooks the town's port. Originally built as a fortress in 1700, the tower served as a safeguard for both the harbour and the town against potential invasions. During the Greek War of Independence, the tower was home to Tzanetakis Grigorakis and his family. Today, the tower has been transformed into the Historical and Ethnological Museum of Mani, after it was donated to the Greek State in 1993. If you're looking for a glimpse into the rich historical and cultural heritage of Peloponnese, the Tzanetakis Tower in Gythio is an unmissable destination to explore!
