Lystra

Lystra is a town located in Ghadjo's Olivelands.  The site of a former kingdom, Lystra is known for its idyllic surroundings which are famous for its olives, almonds, and rolling hills, as well as its own sandstone walls and ruddish, stone architecture adorned with carvings, arches, and shingles.
Lystra has experienced a decline in population over the years, as some if its residences have moved eastward toward Port Citadel in response to its massive growth, brought in part by the development and establishment of Kastill as an important and well-visited city in Orcli.  Many of its inhabitants are elderly and more traditional.
Today, the town is known for its marzipan and olive oil.
