Profitis Ilias, standing at 2,619 feet (798 meters), is one of the highest peaks on Rhodes, cloaked in pine trees and offering panoramic views of the island’s Aegean coastline. At the summit, visitors can explore hiking trails, drink from the refreshing Koskinsiti spring, and visit the historic St. Nikolaos Chapel, part of the Monastery of Fountoukli. The combination of natural beauty and historical significance makes Profitis Ilias a rewarding destination for both hikers and those interested in the island’s cultural heritage.
