Aghios Giorgios O Diasoritis in Halki, Naxos island Greece.

Aghios Georgios O Diasoritis,Halki,Naxos. In an olive field near Halki stands the church of Aghios Georgios Diassoritis. Maybe it was built over an ancient temple . No information exists on the building and painting of this important monument. Indeed,inside it is almost completely covered with beautiful frescoes from the 11th century,well restored. An inscription in the narthex,mentioning the Protospatharios, as in the church of Protothroni in Halki, and the fact that it was a part of a former monastery, imply that Aghios Georgios Diassoritis must have been one of the main churches of the region, and Halki an administrative centre having control over the inland during the Byzantine period.Text:CENTRAL NAXOS

The Axia International Festival 2015 took place in Naxos on the 11 and 13th of August next to the Markopolitis (Papadakis) Tower. The Tower is situated in the village of Akadimi which is 2 minutes on foot away from Halki, Naxos Greece.

"With strong defensive walls and a drawbridge, the Markopolitis Tower, at the entrance to the village of Akadimi, holds a special place in Naxos history.
Built in the late 18th century for the House of Politis, it served as a bastion of the revolts against Frankish feudal lords in the Tragea valley.
A leading figure in the revolts was Markos Politis, or Markopolitis, who was ultimately exiled to Lesvos and was hanged by the Turks in 1802.
The tower has three levels, with an excellent internal architecture and a rich décor. The inscription “1776 ΔΙΕΞΟΔΟΥ ΜΑΡΚΟC POLITHC” is seen on the lintel of the entrance to the second level, below the coat of arms.
The monument has belonged to the Papadakis family since 1888."

One more info about the tower by Mr .Γιάννης Τζανετής:
"This tower is one of the few, if not the only one, built by a local orthodox family while the vast majority of them were built by landlords predominantly of Frankish origin."
