Guided tour of Profitis Ilias

This trekking adventure begins in the pastoral village of Salakos, seating in the foothills of the towering Profitis Ilias mountain, the third tallest on the entire island.

Refresh with a quick snack and rest before returning to Salakos, stopping to admire the vibrant sunset behind the miniature island of Halki before finishing your hike in the dark by torch.
