The area has a few farmlands and pastures but much of the community are hilly and forested along with some bushes. Pine trees dominate the community and has a valley northward to the man-made lake of Peneus. The mountaintop is located in the west. The mountains dominate the south and east. Dafniotissa also has a small road to Kryoneri, Geraki and Peristeri. Until the 1960s, much of the houses had no electricity and much of its roads weren't paved.
