The Ali Pasha Towers were built on the ruins of the settlement of Karos. The settlement of Karos consists of the ruins of a fortified settlement of a community that once lived in the area close to what is now Qeparo. What’s left are some archaeological remains of the fortification walls and a later addition in the form of the Tower of Ali Pasha. The settlement is located on a hill, 450 meters above sea level, overlooking the Qeparo River and with a view at the old town of Upper Qeparo and Qeparo Beach. The area is full of beautiful olive groves as well.
