Colour photograph depicting the seaside settlement of Mithymna, Lesvos, photographed by R. Parisis in July 1977. From a low vantage point, the settlement can be seen spreading amphitheatrically across the slopes of Mount Lepetymnos, with densely built stone and plastered houses, tiled roofs, and colourful window frames. The medieval castle dominates the hilltop, while trees and vines are interspersed among the houses.
