Travel Guide Trianta

Also called Trianta or Trianda according to the transcripts in Latin letters, Ialyssos was, with Lindos and Kamiros, one of the three successful cities of the island before the establishment of the ancient city of Rhodes. There is little left of the dormant acropolis on Filerimos Hill and the historic interest of the places seems to have been drowned in modern buildings dedicated to tourism.Successive excavations, begun by the British in the 1870 s and persecuted by Italians as early as 1912 and the Greeks after 1978, established that the human installation on these lands dates from the Bronze Age and was uninterrupted until the classical period. The apogee of Ialyssos is located in the Minoan period and then mycenenian between 1600 and 1300 BC The port serves as a bridge between Aegean and East and is strategically important in the region's trade.Today, we go to the old acropolis of Ialyssos on the Filerimos mountain or enjoy the kilometers of beach extending along the sea.
