The Bazeos Tower is a fortified stone tower located between the villages of Halki and Filoti in central Naxos. Originally built as a monastery in the 17th century, it was later acquired by the Bazeos family and converted into a country estate. The tower has been extensively restored and now serves as a cultural centre, hosting art exhibitions, concerts, and other events during the summer months. Its imposing stone architecture and hilltop setting make it one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Naxos interior.
