Description

A panoramic view of the ruined palace at Vouni taken from higher ground to the south. Low stone walls and foundations of rooms and courtyards spread across a flat hilltop, with a wall running along the right side. The sea forms a dark band in the background under a pale hazy sky, and trees frame the left and right edges.
