Prophet Elias
If you have time, walk from Thermae to the mountain –a fantastic route of 374m- till the chapel of Prophet Elias. The view over there is panoramic and really incredible: dentelated coastlines, shoals and lands around it, the dam between mountains Krikela and Saint Dimitrios, and if the atmosphere is clear, then you may see the top of Mount Athos, Thasos, Samothrace and Imvros!

Virgin Mary Kakkaviotissa
Driving between the impressive geological shapes of hills and crossing Mount Kakkavos, mind the sign that directs you to Virgin Mary Kakkaviotissa. Follow the earth-road, knowing that soon you’ll be found in front of a stirring view: huge rocks of various shapes, which hide a chapel in their bowels.
