About Walk to the Monastery of Profitis Ilias
The climb to Profitis Ilias takes about an hour and a half from town on a stepped path through pines, and rewards you with views over the whole island and the Peloponnese. Start early, carry water and wear proper shoes; the monastery is still home to monks, so dress modestly.
