What it's like
Filerimos Hill rises above Rhodes and holds the remains of old ruins among its paths. It is a quiet place, set apart from the beaches and the old town, where the island's history sits in the open air.
A visit is a slow walk. The serene pathways pass the ruins and open onto panoramic views, and free-roaming peacocks wander the grounds. Plan on a car or taxi to get up, since the hill is not reached on foot from the port.
Good to know
- Taxis are dark blue with white roofs; agree the meter is running before you leave the city limits.
- Buses in Rhodes are often very full and late, so allow extra time if you go by bus.
