The Skete of Prophet Elijah (Greek: Σκήτη Προφήτη Ηλία, Russian: Ильинский скит) is a cenobitic skete of Pantokratoros monastery in Mount Athos, Greece.
It was founded in 1759 by Paisius Velichkovsky, a Ukrainian monk from Poltava.[1] Within the complex are a main church (built 1903) and three chapels. There are also an extensive library and two icons reputedly with miraculous powers.[2][3]
The historic Holy Aqueduct [bg] (Greek: Υδατογέφυρο Στη Σκήτη Προφήτη Ηλία Παντοκράτορος) is located in the skete.
