In 1802 the tower was renovated by Aeginean. During the revolution of 1821 the Tower of Markellos hosted Greek freedom-fighters and politicians. From 1826 onwards, it hosted the Temporary Government, the Deputy Commitee (1827), the National Fund and the Government House, while during the Kapodistrias’ administration it hosted various ministers.

About Saronic Gulf Islands

The Saronic Gulf Islands are a group of Greek islands near Athens, among them Aegina, Hydra, Poros and Spetses, linked by short ferry rides.

The Saronic Gulf Islands lie in the sea between Athens and the Peloponnese, close enough to be reached from Piraeus by ferry or hydrofoil. Aegina, the nearest large island, has the Temple of Aphaia, a Doric temple set among pines, and a harbour town of fishing boats and pistachio sellers. Hydra, where cars are not used, is a rocky island of stone mansions built by sea captains, with donkeys and water taxis doing the carrying.
