Prophet Elias Lookout Point is one of the most popular attractions on the island of Santorini. Located near Pyrgos village, it offers stunning views of the whole area from its 567 metres above sea level setting. Visitors can enjoy a walk in the small paved paths of the charming Pyrgos village and savour the famous Santorini wines, while at the same time having the chance to explore one of the oldest monasteries still standing today. The Monastery of Prophet Elias itself is also majestic and awe inspiring, hosting its own museum, an impressive bell tower, chapels and a prosperous trade business that supported the cultural and educational life of the locals. Whether you choose to visit it by car or join an organized bus tour, it's definitely a place not to miss while exploring Santorini!
