Karmilio Oros
Karmilio Oros is a peak at the southern end of the Athos peninsula. Its summit is 887 metres above sea level. It is named after Mount Carmel.
The peak can be reached via footpaths from the Hermitage of Saint Basil. The peak lies directly to the northeast of the Skete of St. Basil. The Holy Chapel of the Holy Glorious Prophet Elijah and some radio towers sit on top of the peak. A footpath connects the skete to the peak, as well as with the Stavros junction, where there are footpaths that lead to the Skete of St. Anne, Kerasia, and Great Lavra.
Its summit is also known as the "peak of the Prophet Elijah." One of its historical residents included Saint Gerasimus of Kefalonia, who for 17 years lived "a heroic existence, battling constantly against nature’s elements – wind, thunder and lightning, rain, snow, frost – and against the full guile of demons" on Karmilion. Another historical resident included "the Confessor Father Neophytos who lived on Karmelion."
