San Gregorio Tower is a historic location rather than a standing monument. Patù’s archaeological survey records a 16th-century tower on the headland, built in 1569 and demolished in 1899 for a house.
Practical information checked for access, sea conditions, services and safety. The municipal archaeological documentation clarifies that the tower was demolished in 1899.
The pin marks the historic headland area. Do not look for an accessible ruin or enter private property.
If an access point is closed or altered, do not improvise shortcuts: use authorised routes only.
The headland overlooks a mainly rocky Ionian shore; use public marina accesses for bathing.
Before moving away from shore, identify a safe exit point and do not enter if waves or current exceed your ability.
Interesting for visitors combining the sea with local history and archaeology.
Before planning the day, consider access, distance from services, crowding and how easy it will be to get back.
Use marina parking and approach on foot without blocking private entrances; seasonal rules may change.
Do not leave valuables visible in the car and do not occupy verges, access points or unauthorised spaces.
You can approach the headland through the built-up area, but there is no tower visit because the structure has disappeared.
If you have specific mobility needs, check before leaving whether the route is genuinely usable that day.
Do not cross private land or exposed rocks merely to find the former tower site.
If signs or barriers on site are more restrictive than this guide, the instructions on site always take precedence.
The municipal archaeological documentation clarifies that the tower was demolished in 1899.
Before visiting, check whether newer rules have been introduced since this update.

Before deciding, pay particular attention to the access and safety cards, as they can completely change the experience.
