The tour was fine overall, but I wish we had more time in Butterfly Valley. There’s quite a bit of walking involved, and we only had time to see the upper section—and even that felt rushed. We really needed at least another hour to explore the lower part and have a moment to relax.

The Filerimos Cross is beautiful, surrounded by stunning scenery and plenty of peacocks wandering around. Butterfly Valley is also worth visiting—although it's quite busy and leans a bit toward the touristy side, it's still a gorgeous spot.

The vehicle was a compact minibus, and the driver was exceptionally friendly. Overall, it was a really enjoyable journey.

Filerimos Hill itself wasn’t open to visitors, so we were only able to see the cross and enjoy the view.
