Elea is a picturesque small village on the Laconic bay, near Molaoi. At the south side of the village, on the cliffs some 50 m above the sea, there is an old watchtower that has been renovated recently. It was probably Frankish, built in the 13th or the 14th century. Step over the low gate or the bushes put up recently by the apartment complex next to the historic tower.
