The Profitis Ilias Hike by Art and Walk

Summary

We drive up to Aperi to start this hike, close to the exit of Achata beach. After about an hour of walking and ascending the mountain up to the chapel of Protifits Ilias we have a gorgeous view on the East side of the island. We can see Achata beach and her turquoise shades from above, but also Menetes, Pigadia, Othos, Volada and Aperi are visible. The Profitis Ilias chapel is open for a visit and offers a great set-up for a break in the shade. After a break at the chapel of Profitis Ilias we walk back down to Aperi. Once leaving the trail we will drive back to Pigadia where you will be again around 12:30am. This hike is only for experienced walkers/hikers. After more or less 4 hours we will arrive back to Pigadia. Distance: 6km. Height difference: +490 m / 0 m.

Once we have reached the Profitis Ilias chapel you'll enjoy the view for sure!
