What to expect
On your Sunset Hike Profitis Ilias, you start from the beautiful village of Salakos, located on the foothills of the mountain Profitis Ilias - the third highest mountain of the island! The trail gradually ascends, is well maintained and even suitable for beginners, although a fairly good level of fitness is required. Most of the hike is protected from the sun, under the shade of various types of trees. The views during our hike are truly magnificent overlooking the Aegean Sea, the coastline of Turkey and the nearby islands. Once we arrive near the top we can admire the famous “Elafos and Elafina” (male and female deer in Greek). These are former Italian hotels, built by the Colonists in 1929 and 1932 respectively, and were built in an Alpine Style. You will also visit the “Villa de Vecci”, summer house of the former Italian Governor of Rhodes and the Byzantine church of Profitis Elias.
After a short break and snack, we will head back towards Salakos - not before admiring the sun setting over the Aegean sea behind the miniature island of Halki. For last part of the hike it will be dark and so you will be provided with head torches for a totally unique experience on the way down!
