What To Expect
The tour starts from Salakos, a beautiful agricultural village, located on the foothills of the mountain Profitis Ilias. The third highest mountain of the island awaits for us to conquer it! The hike ascends gradually on its slopes, it is well maintained, not very rocky and suitable also for beginners due to its good quality. Having said that a basic level of physical fitness is required as the first part is a little demanding. Most of the trail is under the shade of ilex trees, pine trees and some olive trees. During the uphill trek, the views are magnificent towards the Aegean Sea, the coastline of Turkey and some nearby islands, like Halki and Tilos. When you have arrived at the top after the pleasant recreational and picnic area, you can admire the famous “Elafos and Elafina” Hotels (male and female deer in Greek), former Italian Hotels built in 1929 and 1932 in keeping with an Alpine Style of architecture. We will also visit the “Villa de Vecci”, which once belonged to the former Italian Governor of Rhodes, and the Byzantine church of Profitis Ilias. After a short break and a snack, we start the descent back to Salakos.
