SYKIA. KIAMIL BEY’S SUMMER RESIDENCE
The settlement of Sykia and the location of the so called Kiamil Bey’s summer residence (Googleearth).
The Sgouraioi tower (named also as Metaxas) is found in Sykia, which according to oral sources originally belonged to Kiamil Bey of Corinth.
It is a small building consisting of two storeys, a ground floor and first floor 12,00×6,00 m (and 12,00x 7,80 m at the vertical part of the T), which has been radically altered. It is constructed of masonry, which has been plastered.
The small arched openings at the southeastern façade, located at the first floor only, are typical of its form, as well as the ashlar masonry on its narrow sides, where the axis is stressed by the decorated projection of the fireplace.
