profitis Ilias
Prophitis Ilias
On the highest spot of the island, 750 meters above the surface of the sea, stands the chapel of Prophet Elias built on the hill of Prophitis Ilias. Most possibly it was built by monks from other neighboring monasteries.
This church has a panoramic view of the port, the villages and Arkadies.
Places near profitis Ilias
From Chivadolimni following the central road you get to Aghia Marina. Then, descending on the earth-road towards the sea there is a quiet blue beach viewing the entire port. The “Rivari” lagoon is located nearby.
It is the longest south beach, accessible also by car.
The access is relatively difficult because of the earth-road and a ten-minute walk is required so as to get to the beach which is nonetheless worth visiting. Gerontas is an amazing bay surrounded by white imposing rocks and caves, dark sand and blue-green waters. You will be impressed by the rock in the shape of a bridge uniting land and sea and also by its clear waters.
Aghia Marina (Saint Marina)
On the way to Halakas, just before you get to the beach of Fatourena, you will reach the monastery of Saint Marina. This monastery was in operation from around 1650 to 1830 and it is one of the 13 monasteries the French traveler Tournieyef visited while it was still in operation and which he mentions with admiration in his travel accounts. (Tournieyef visited Milos in 1700).
