Remains of towers are preserved in many parts of the island, but the most important is the tower in Agia Marina, which in fact has the highest surviving height of all similar monuments in the Mediterranean. It is located next to the homonymous church, at a crossroads of ancient roads that connected Poiiessa with Korissia and Ioulida, and is part of a fortification from the Hellenistic period. It is a square building, with side lengths of 10 m and a surviving height of 20 m.
