Filerimos and Valley of the Butterflies

After a morning pickup from your hotel, enjoy a relaxing drive to the Valley of Butterflies, a unique and peaceful ecological setting. A true pride of nature with narrow rock walkways, lakes decorated by water-lilies, rustic bridges, running waters, waterfalls and resting places loaded with millions of brown-red butterflies from June to September. There is also the Museum of Natural History that you can visit, containing a large variety of different species.

After a short drive, ascend to the top of Filerimos Hill, where you will visit the monastery of Our Lady and the remains of the ancient acropolis of Ialyssos, one of three ancient cities of Rhodes Island. Visitors can walk along a Golgotha, a tree sheltered pathway with a series of shrines with scenes of the Holy Passion. This foot-way leads to an enormous imposing cross, from the top of which one can cherish the outstanding view of villages and bright green valleys that are generously stretched around. Be driven back to your hotel afterward.
