Enjoy a tour to Filerimos hill from Rhodes! You will have the chance to start your tour at the Archaeological site on the left or take a stroll on the right footway while enjoying the breathtaking panoramic view of Ialyssos. Whichever you choose, you'll be serenaded by the peacocks' mating calls throughout your journey.You'll have the opportunity to explore the remains of the ancient acropolis of Ialyssos and visit the monastery of Our Lady, which is one of the three ancient cities of Rhodes Island. As you walk along the "Golgotha," a tree-sheltered pathway with several shrines depicting scenes of the Holy Passion, you'll get to witness the enormous imposing cross at the end, offering a spectacular view of the surrounding villages and lush green valleys. After leaving Filerimos Hill, your next stop is the Valley of Butterflies, one of the island's most alluring destinations (with a 2-hour stay). The Pelekanos River canyon hosts a unique valley named after the Panaxia Quadripunctaria Butterfly. This valley was discovered in the 1930s by Italians who created a stunning 1 km path that meanders through the canyon, leading to areas, where the butterflies are densely populated.
