Getting around
Lapta is a nice place to visit and drive around. You will find some excellent places to snap pictures. There are many old buildings and lovely vantage points where you can park your car and take in the sea views. St. John’s church has wonderful icons that date back to 1793 that are worth seeing. St Luke’s church has columns located in its garden which have been decorated in the Corinthian style. The columns are reportedly to have once stood in the ancient city of Lambusa. Although the Acheiropoietos Monastery cannot be accessed by the public anymore as it is currently being used by the Turkish military as an encampment and warehouse, it can be seen from different vantage points and is worth a mention
