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.

What The New Age Traveler Says...?

Rhodes Filerimos Hill, Rhodos is one of the stars of the Mediterranean. The Filerimos Hill of Rhodes is one of my favorites places in Greece. Is the place that you can view all Rhodos... The remains of the temple of Zeus and Athena Polias are at the highest point of the Filerimo hill. Rhodes Filerimos Hill Is in the south of Rhodes town and is daily bus service going there. For me  Filerimos Hill is a worth a visit as is one of Rhodos main attractions.
