Location:  Kournohori, Melanes

 

Description:  the area awakens memories, since here Krispos staged an ambush and killed Duke Karkeri, to whom he had been  extending his hospitality, while at the same time, taking over power on Naxos.  Subsequently he belonged to the “Ospodaros” (a lord’s title, subordinate to the Sultan) of Vlachias, Mavrogeni.  Today the marble table with the signage that Frankopoulos extended his hospitality to King Othona, can be found in a very pretty garden of a house in the village, which in an earlier time belonged to the tower.
