Trizonia is an islet of the Corinthian gulf (population:64).
On a low and easily accessible hill (named Palaiokastro which means old castle) of the NW side 1500m from the port there are the remains of a medieval –most probably Byzantine– fortification and of a tower. We do not have a photo of the tower, while the above pictures may show newer constructions (using the materials from the fortification).
