Hike Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel at the designated time to begin a fun hiking route through Mount Profitis Ilias. Adventurers, this is your tour!

We'll start the route from this small agricultural town in Rhodes, a perfect point to start touring the third highest mountain on the island. Climb through paths full of pine, holm oak, and olive trees. Greek nature in its purest form.

We'll help you identify the different species of animal and plant life on Mount Profitis Ilias. Over the course of the route, we'll make different stops to enjoy unbelievable views of the Aegean Sea, the Turkish coast, and the nearest islands.

One of the highlights comes when you reach the Elafos and Elafina meadow, buildings erected by Italian settlers between 1929 and 1932, along with the Villa de Vecci, the residence of the former Italian governor of Rhodes, and the Byzantine church of Profitis Elias.

The tour ends returning to the starting point after five hours of activity.
