Car Rentals Ialyssos
Ialyssos is the second urban center after Rhodes Town, located only 9 km from the capital. Nowadays, Ialyssos is one of the most important holiday destinations in Greece, with a large tourist infrastructure along the entire length of its beach. Next to the modern city of Ialyssos, the ruins of ancient Ialyssos are considered to be one of the oldest city-states on the island of Rhodes. It is estimated that it was built around 1,500 BC during the Mycenaean Era. On Filerimos Hill, you will find the ruins of the ancient Acropolis of Ialyssos as well as the Temple of Athena Polias. Ancient Ialyssos declined after the development of ancient Rhodes, from the 4th century BC.

What to See in Ialyssos?
⦿ The ancient site of Ialyssos is a must-see attraction in the town. The ancient city of Ialyssos extends around Filerimos Hill, where the acropolis is located with monuments from the ancient, Byzantine and Knights periods. The temple of Athena Polias dates back to the 3rd-2nd century BC, but it was built on the position of an older temple of the classical era. In the early Christian period, a three-aisled basilica with an atrium was founded on top of the ancient church. During the Frankish period, this place was occupied by a medieval monastery and a church.
⦿ Walk the Golgotha road with its 134 steps, on the sides of which there are representations of the Passion of Christ.
