Mountain chapel, narrow steep approach
Profitis Ilias, 220 07, Gortynia
Been here?
A quiet, clean overnight platform beside a chapel above a small mountain town, with spectacular 360-degree views. Space is limited to 2 vehicles, and the exposed site can be difficult in strong wind or storms. The short approach is narrow, steep and rocky, with difficult sections; 2WD is possible, but good ground clearance helps. The area is suitable for hiking and has cool summer temperatures.

Perfect view… slightly sketchy drive for our 6 m van.Translating
Incredible natural platform, superb view and sheltered from prying eyes. Be careful on very windy days, but otherwise it’s incredible. Space for two vehicles, not too large, and not too fussy about perfect flatness. Four stars because access is rather catastrophic if you care about your tires. We managed it with a front-wheel-drive Renault Master H2L1, but prayed we wouldn’t get a puncture...Translating
Bumpy approach road; ground clearance is an advantage, but it is possible with 2WD! Beautiful view; nobody was at the chapel.Translating
Isolated, elevated spot with a superb 360-degree view, clean, narrow, and with little room to maneuver… if you can manage to get up there! The short access road is narrow and steep, with two or three difficult sections. We did not attempt it with our 6 m truck; a T6 made it up without difficulty. We retreated to the area below, near an abandoned restaurant, which was very pleasant!Translating
Great view, absolutely quiet, for a maximum of two vans; otherwise turning around is difficult. Access is rather narrow and rocky, so good ground clearance is certainly helpful. The site is next to a chapel, which appears abandoned. Exposed location, very vulnerable in wind and thunderstorms. Clean site, highly recommended.Translating
The best view, super clean and quiet. One of the best spot we had in Greece so far ! 10 out 10 would recommend. Translating
Beautiful place for a camper at the top of the mountain near a small church, which looks abandoned. The view in every direction is fantastic. The final short section up to the place is a little adventurous, but we managed it with a VW T5 without 4x4.Translating
Great spot with a magnificent mountain view, space for two vans. We were there with friends. Access is via a fairly steep gravel and rocky road. Very quiet night.Translating
Absolutely incredible. Complete peace, a 360-degree view, and a sunset not to be missed!Translating
