A 5000 year-old temple dedicated to god Zeus, with a medieval Orthodox chapel in the middle. Superb location.

Ruins of ancient majesty In a wild landscape off the road from Pahia Rahi to Anitseo. Only the wide staircase , a pair of stone water channels and a corner of perfectly cut masonry walls remain of the 4th century BC sanctuary. The small Byzantine church , of 13th century, with a terracotta tiled roof, was built on the ruins of ancient temple of Zeus Hellanios.

Mount Ellanio is the highest mountain in Aegina. It's 532 meters high and at the peak of the mountain there is the Ascension Church. According to Mythology, during a period of drought, Aiakos asked Zeus to rain. His requests were heard and then Aiakos built a sanctuary in honour of Zeus in a place which today is called Sfirixtres. From the Hellenistic years, a wall was remained and next to it a stony staircase. At the top of the staircase there is a flat area and the sanctuary of Zeus is built in this area. We can see the foundations of a big building as well as the foundations of pillars that are in three sets. Higher up, were two tanks of water between the rocks. The higher one is the biggest. The view from Mount Ellanios is truly fantastic. You can literally see Saronikos. In the north part of the mountain, there is the church of Taxiarxon and in the lower parts of the mountain there is a town called Pahia Rahi which is built on the slope, over Marathonas.
