Start with the breath-taking view at the Prophet Elias Monastery and visit the picturesque monastery.

Then you will have free time at the Red Beach to simply enjoy the colorful formations of the mountain and/or visit Akrotiri Bay for coffee or lunch with Greek traditional mezedes and ouzo (not included in the price).
