    Full description

    Be collected at your accommodation around 9:00 AM. Then head to your first destination, Filerimos Hill. Here, visit the monastery of Our Lady and the remains of the Ancient Acropolis of Ialyssos, one of the three ancient cities of Rhodes island. Walk along a Golgotha, a tree-sheltered pathway with a series of shrines with scenes of the Holy Passion. This footpath leads to an enormous imposing cross. You can admire the outstanding view of the villages and bright green valleys from the top.  Next, visit the Valley of Butterflies. This is a unique and peaceful ecological setting, which is a true representation of local 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.

    Visit the local museum there, and admire the large variety of different species and intricate photographs.

    You will return to your accommodation around 2:00 PM.

    The driver was very kind, and helpful. The butterfly valley was amazing, Filermos Hill wasn't too big, but there is a wonderful landscape and a very kind monastery. You have to climb stairs, but this beautiful view worth it. Even the lenght of the journey was perfect too.

    This is a must do trip! The pick up and drop off was so easy and communicated perfectly. Filerimos Hill, the views when you get to the top are breathtaking. Our daughter loved the peacocks and was a highlight for her. Valley of Butterflies, sensible footwear is a must. The steps and pathways are very uneven so sandals are definitely not a good idea. It took us about 30 minutes to get to the top and the last 100metres is definitely the worst part but the butterflies make it worthwhile. It was amazing seeing so many flying around you, there was something magical about it. would 100% recommend doing this, you will not be disappointed

    Communication from the travel company was very good, even called morning of pick up to say they would be 10 minutes late. Clear instructions from driver re time leaving each venue. Both attractions were good. Only saw one variety of butterfly but there were a lot of them. This was a self guided tour so no reviews for guide.
