VILLAGESPlatania BARBALEKOU TOWER Round the corner from Platania is the Barbalekou Tower, an awe inspiring place for a stop-off on the southern summit of the Neda gorge. Here, you can digest your lunch whilst gazing down the Neda valley from a crazy paved plateau built into the mountainside. For even more impressive views, climb the noisy metal steps inside the tower and take a peak through the viewer. Then, ascend the steps of the amphitheatre which, despite what you might think, is not an ancient arena but a modern venue for spot-lit music events. It is also the perfect setting for weddings and saints day celebrations.
