Description
Views of the picturesque village Olympos of Karpathos that is located in the northern part of the island on the mountain of Saint Elias (it took its name from the church that is was built on its top), in ancient times called Olympos.
We watch the colorful houses on a steep slope and the mountains that surround the village. A small balcony with an elaborate design, ruins of the castle that are preserved, picturesque narrow streets, staircases that climb up the mountain and the happy children who are running.
One woman does her laundry, another one ties supplies to a donkey and goes down the alley carrying a sack of supplies and another holds the hand of a little boy with a sack on her shoulder as they go up together.
We notice that all the women of the village wear the traditional local costume as if time had stopped in different era. The traditional costume is composed of headscraft, a loose shirt and an apron.
The tour continues with views from the main church of the village, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and the lens stands on a young woman who timidly smiles and caresses her child affectionately.
The film closes with a goat shearing.
