ELAIONAS

At the foot of Mount Hellanion, the highest mountain of the island, the ancient Eleonas  (Olive Grove) can be found in a valley with scattered olives over 500 years old! The miracle of life unfolds before your eyes, since the young sprouts coexist with the serpentine centenarian trunks, a tangible proof of the continuity of nature, you can also visit the chapel of the Holy Trinity.

Eleonas is accessible, for hiking enthusiasts, either from the seaside area of Marathon (50') or from the mountain village of Pachia Rachi (half an hour).
