The path leading to the top of the hill is almost totally hidden under bushes, so it takes 20 minutes of vigorous hiking to clear a path towards your destination. But it is totally worth it. Laskara may strike the observer as bizarre, and hardly fortress-like, but it is an excellent example of the first half of the 19th-century Ottoman defensive architecture. It consists of a cylindrical building with numerous gun ports but no main entrance. Access was through a ladder. There are also two smaller circular buildings attached to the main one. Just a few meters away is an auxiliary edifice, which was probably used as barracks, storage facilities, or stables. Today it lies abandoned in a ruinous state.
