Filerimos Cross, Ixia

Wedding Venue Information

Perched 267 meters high on a hill overlooking the town of Ialyssos is the Filerimos Cross, with its stunning panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, Rhodes city and the numerous pine and cypresses trees. A great wedding destination and a truly wonderful place to exchange your vows. As you walk along the path to the cross you will see 14 stands displaying the events that took place from the sentencing of Jesus Christ by Pilate, to his final crucifixion. Starting at the sentencing and ending on Mount Golgotha, you cannot help but imagine Jesus Carrying the cross on his final walk. Also atop of the mountain is the ancient archaeological site of the Acropolis of the Ialyssos town, with the Temple of Athena Polias.  The area is one of beauty and history and understandably, a popular place for people wanting a Rhodes wedding.
