Filerimos Hill
 Filerimos is a
hill 15 km away from Rhodes-town, in the ancient city of
Ialysos once stood on the slopes of Mountain Filerimos. Today the
site contains outstanding archeological sites.
Filerimos means "lover of solitude" after the 10th-century
settlement here by Byzantine hermits. Filerimos
Hill
and the surrounding area are steeped in history, the place was
restored by the Italians and British. The
monastery that standing
there is dates from the rule of the Knights. A short walk
from the monastery and archeological zone we came across the "Way of
the Cross", with 14 stations marked out in copper plaques that lead
to an enormous concrete crucifix. for a truly amazing view.
The views from the mountain stretch from hillside
to villages nestling in their foothills, sweeping down to the coastline and
Turkey on the blue horizon.
