    ❣ THANKS FOR WATCHING ❣
    Built on the highest point of the island, 567 metres (1860.2 feet) above sea level, the monastery of Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah) stands tall. Offering all-encompassing views over the entire island of Santorini.
    The monastery even has its own museum, which houses a collection of rare ecclesiastical artefacts, books and stunning Byzantine icons and sculptures. It features displays on local industries, such as printing, shoemaking and candle making. The few monks still living there are also involved in wine making. And while the monastery building is not open to visitors, you can still visit the chapel (make sure to take some time to observe the colourful frescos and religious icons on the walls and ceilings) and its yard, from where you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views. If you are interested in local products, you should know that all the goods produced and cultivated by the monks are available for purchase. And if it’s food or drink, you can even sample them at the small display in the yard.
