Attavyros, Summit in Rhodes, Greece
Mount Attavyros rises to 1,215 meters above sea level, standing as the highest elevation point on the island of Rhodes in the Dodecanese region.
The mountain peak contains remnants of a Mycenaean-era sanctuary dedicated to Zeus, where ancient priests conducted ceremonies using a bronze bull altar.
The mountain holds significance in Greek mythology as Althaemenes selected this location for Zeus worship because it provided views of his homeland in Crete.
The ascent from Embonas village to the summit requires approximately seven hours for a round trip, with proper hiking equipment necessary for the journey.
The mountain slopes display seasonal transformations, from spring flowers like white sage and blue anemone to occasional winter snow that rarely lasts beyond 24 hours.
