Elata

Elata is a small, yet noteworthy village, built at the side of a steep hill. It is a medieval village with some well preserved remains, such as the corner towers of its castle and some parts of the fortification.

Its inhabitants are mainly occupied with agriculture, producing mastic, almonds, oils, grapes, and more. In Elata is also a high school and the church of Agia Triadha, as well as the picturesque beach of Agia Irini near the village. From there one can also access the deserted islands Pelagoniso and Agios Stephanos, which are near Elata and ideal places for fishing.
