At over 1800 feet high, Profitis Ilias is the highest peak on the island of Santorini. The peak, which is named for the Prophet Elijah, shares this name with a nearby monastery, built in 1712.
The monastery was active until the mid 1800’s, and at one time owned it’s own ship and ran a Greek language and literature school.
Visit the monastery to view Greek Orthodox artifacts, and exhibits on the history of the region’s culture, wine and food.
On a clear day, views from the peak of Profitis Ilias extend in all directions across the entire island of Santorini.
