Elata is a small but 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; they produce mastic, almonds, oil and grapes, among other.
In Elata, there is a high school and the church of Agia Triadha and, near the village, the picturesque beach of Agia Irini. From there you can also access the deserted islands Pelagoniso and Agios Stephanos, which are near Elata and are ideal places for fishing .
