This is the Milutin tower, which lies on the path from the monastery to the harbour (Arsanas) Chilandariou. Most people never see this tower, because most people follow the path to Esfigmenou, whitch turns to the right. You’ll see the tower on the Vasilis’ link,see reaction nr 2: (photo on page 13/14). NB.: not far from the harbour you should be able to find the ruins of the Basileos-monastery. Wim
