An olive tree with spreading branches frames the upper right of the view over Lapithos. Pale, flat-roofed houses, several storeys high in places, cluster on a slope, and a tall tower rises among them. Terraced gardens with trees and stone walls lie in the foreground, and rocky hills rise behind the village.
