GEM Travel Rhodes - Aerial view of Filerimos (HD)
This is a short clip showing the beauty of the Monastery of Filerimos, which is situated near Ialyssos, Rhodes. When you arrive on the top of the mountain to reach the Monastery, you can visit the Church built for the Virgin Mary. The church was built by the Knights of St. John, on the ruins of the temple of Athena, but was destroyed by the Turks and reconstructed later by the Italians.
There is also the path to Golgothas, where there are engravings on the side that represent the Passions of the Christ. The path leads to a 18m-tall cross (used to be 30m rock-made by the Italians). You can enter the cross and enjoy the view from its top, overlooking Rhodes island and its villages.
Filerimos
Filerimos Monastery in Rhodes is located just near Rhodes (8 km), just near the village of Trianta. The village stands on the on the site of the ancient city of Ialysos. Between Trianta and Filerimos, archeologist found the necropolis of ancient Ialyssos.
A lot of ancient ruins can be found on the hilltop. The monastery of Filerimos was built in the 5th century AD by the Byzantines. Near it there are the ruins of the ancient Ialyssos.
On the road leading to the Filerimos monastery, there are the remains of a Greek temple, the baptistery of the first Christian basilica and the underground chapel of St George. Inside the chapel there are the faded remains of 15th century old wall paintings.
The Hexagonal Church of the Knights houses the icon of the Virgin of Filerimos, worshiped by both Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Christians. Right near the church there are the remains of the Byzantine garrison.
You can visit the Filerimos monastery from Tuesday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and from Saturday to Monday from 8:30 am to 3 pm. Remember to dress properly.
Ο λόφος της Φιλερήμου βρίσκεται στο Β/Α άκρο του νησιού της Ρόδου. Έχει ύψος 247 μέτρα και είναι τουριστικά ένα από τα πιο πολυσύχναστα σημεία στη Ρόδο.
Κατοικήθηκε από τα αρχαία χρόνια από τους Τελχίνες Ακολούθησαν οι Μινωίτες το 1500 π.Χ Το 14ο αι. π.Χ. επικρατούν οι Μυκηναίοι που οχύρωσαν το λόφο Το 1100 π.Χ. επικράτησαν οι Δωριείς που έχτισαν νέα Οχυρά καθώς και έδωσαν στην περιοχή το απαράμιλλο στίγμα της παρουσίας τους.
Ο Σταυρός της Φιλερήμου που υπάρχει σήμερα χτίστηκε το 1996 με σκάλα στο εσωτερικό του και έχει ύψος 18 μέτρα Ο προηγούμενος Σταυρός ήταν από πέτρα και είχε χτιστεί από τους Ιταλούς και είχε ύψος 30μ.
Το μοναστήρι χτίστηκε από τους Ιππότες το 14ο αι. μ.Χ. πάνω στα ερείπια Βυζαντινής εκκλησίας η οποία είχε χτιστεί πάνω στα θεμέλια του Ναού της Ιαλυσίας Αθηνάς τμήμα των οποίο σώζεται μέχρι και σήμερα.
Στη Φιλέρημο Αρχαιολογικοί χώροι είναι η Δωρική Κρήνη, έργο 3.000 χρόνων, τα ερείπια της Ακρόπολης καθώς και τα υπολείμματα του Ναού της Αθηνάς. Οι χώροι αυτοί είναι προσβάσιμοι και φροντίζονται από την Αρχαιολογική Υπηρεσία Ρόδου.
Η Φιλέρημος είναι γεμάτη μονοπάτια. Τα κυριότερα είναι αυτό που οδηγεί προς το παλιό εκκλησάκι του Προφήτη Ηλία, ο παλιός δρόμος, και το μονοπάτι προς τη Δωρική Κρήνη. Τα μονοπάτια αυτά σήμερα σώζονται αλλά όχι και σε τόσο καλή κατάσταση. Κυρίως αυτό που οδηγεί στην Δωρική Κρήνη είναι εντελώς παραμελημένο ιδιαίτερα στο τέλος του.

The old monastery of Tsambika. Rhodes. (Nunnery of Panagia of Tsampika ti Psili)
Located on the east coast. Get there by following the eastern road from Rhodes to Lindos and before reaching Archangelos. It consists of the upper and lower monastery. The upper monastery is situated on the hilltop on the left side of Rhodes- Lindos main road, overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches, while the lower is lying on the right side of the road.
At the top of the hill at an altitude of 320 meters is the oldest monastery of Panagia Tsambika. Walk on a winding and steep path, about 500 meters long, passing through a forest of cypress trees. The hill offers panoramic view of the surrounding area.
There are many miracles of the Virgin. Most of them refer to childless women who pray to the Virgin Mary to gift them with a child and they promise either to baptize the child to that monastery or to name their child Tsampikos (for boys) or Tsambika (for girls).

Mount of the Holy Cross
Hike of Mount of the Holy Cross on Wednesday August 28, 2013. Left Colorado Springs at 11:15pm and go to the trailhead around 3:15am. Started hiking by headlamp at 3:25am and summited at 7:37am. Spent about 75 minutes on top and then began the long slow descent. Arrived back at the trailhead at 12:30pm. I had last hiked this peak on July 20, 1995. Eighteen years ago. According to 14ers.com, the height of the mountain is 14,005. The round-trip length is 11.5 miles and the total elevation gain is 5,600 feet. And it was an ass-kicker.
