This is a must visit destination when on the island of Rhodes. I recommend going early (0800) before the temperature rises and to enjoy the natural beauty with a lot less people. Drive all the way to the top just past the restaurant and park when you see the clearing. You will most likely see a few goats but they are harmless except for their smell. Take a bottle of water and begin the steady climb to the top. There are many places to stop, rest and enjoy the views. When you reach the monastery there are 360 degree views of the eastern side of the island. Please make an offering and light a candle before entering to see the icon.
