Mt. Ellanion, Temple of Zeus

Municipality of Aegina

At a height of 532 metres, Mount Ellanion is the tallest mountain on the island of Aegina . At its summit, there is a church dedicated to the Prophet Elias as well as the remains of the Temple of Zeus. The myth tells us that the Temple of Zeus was established by Eade to hear his prayer and bring rain to the drought-plagued island. The view from the site is exquisite, with the beaches, the town of Akos and the islet of Agistri spread out below.
