These pictures show you how the kellion is situated at 520 m. height with the Skiti Ag. Andreou on the background.
Russian dependency (metochi) near the border. A former hospital of the Russians but now the land is leased to Tsantali winecompany. There was a fire here in august 1887 (Fennell, The Russians on Athos) destroying a large part of the buildings.

Now the village is totally wrecked. It was fascinating to walk around as we did in september 2009. It was covered with vegetation and you could not enter the ruins. The houses a litle bit higher up (the long building) were in better shape. Workers lived there and there was a small police station.
The entrance to the tower, with small boats in front of it. These boats are used to catch fish, as I have seen on the 29th of September 2009.
The interior of the tower. Obviously the room is not in use: scaffolds, an oil drum, rubbish, piles of sand and other debris fill the space, with a wooden structure above.
In the back of the room, with a black ceiling from fires that were lit inside, some interesting objects appear.
