Koules
Aptera Koules Fortress

This impressive Ottoman fortress was built by the Turks following the Cretan Revolution of 1866 to control the Apokoronas Valley, which at the time provided access to Chania. It is situated 800 metres from the archaeological site of Aptera and is easily accessible on foot or by car. For some unknown reason, it was closed when we visited, but we have included a few exterior views for you.
