July 3, 2025,Mount Eros and Prophet Elias Monastery from Kamini

A nice Easy hike along a fantastic stone path, only the summit push is rocky terrain, watch for loose stone.

Summit offers fantastic 360° vistas across the ocean, back to the Monastery and across the island.

I can recommend this return route too, as it offers a different view from the ascent, from a less travelled path that takes you …
