Profitis Ilias, Mountain summit in Rhodes, Greece.
The peak reaches 748 meters in elevation and stands as one of the major geographical features visible from multiple points across Rhodes island.
The mountain contains remnants of ancient observation points used by Mediterranean sailors to monitor maritime traffic and weather patterns.
Following Greek Orthodox traditions, the summit houses a chapel dedicated to Prophet Elias, where religious ceremonies occur throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the summit through multiple hiking paths or by vehicle via a paved road that extends to the telecommunication towers.
The elevation provides clear views extending to the Turkish coastline, surrounding Dodecanese islands, and both the Mediterranean and Aegean seas.
