Butterfly Valley
Butterfly Valley (in Greek “Petaloúdes”), where every year, at the end of the wet season (late May), thousands of butterflies attracted by the scent of the Oriental Sweetgum trees cover the entire landscape.

Apart from this unique nature reserve's aesthetic value, it is also the site of the only natural forest of "Liquidambar orientalis" (Oriental Sweetgum trees) in Europe, and a resting point for the "Jersey tiger" (Panaxia Quadripunctaria), a nocturnal moth. An excellent place for families with children who wish to enjoy the beauty of nature and examine the life cycle of butterflies as part of their summer holiday.

LINDOS: a magnificent acropolis on a imposing rock
On the top of the same rock stands a centuries-old acropolis, proudly overlooking the archipelagos. The acropolis bears silent witness to Lindos’ glorious past, a major naval power of ancient times which reputedly had a population of 17,000.

The view of Lindos village with its cubic houses sprawling down the hillside under the acropolis is one of the most photographed scenes in Greece. The whitewashed labyrinth of little alleyways was deliberately designed to confuse pirates; today this layout makes wandering around the town a real adventure!

According to tradition the temple of Athena on the Acropolis was founded by Danaus, who came to the island with his 50 daughters to escape the rage of the goddess Hera. Follow the same ancient path that the ancient Rhodians took. When you reach the acropolis you will see a 280 BC relief of a Rhodian Trireme (ancient Greek warship) carved into the rock, an indication of the naval power of ancient Rhodes. 

RHODES New Town and Medieval Town
On our way to Rhodes we will stop on the view point Monte Smith with its breathtaking view over the North–West coast of Rhodes, where you also will visit the Acropolis ruins of Rhodes and the ancient Diagoras Stadium.

Once we arrived to Rhodes, you can have a free time in new town with its smart restaurants, bars and shops or take a leisurely walk with our guide around the old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its medieval buildings, imposing churches and traditional tavernas.

After that a visit to Mandraki Harbor and the Lighthouse of Rhodes with the two Dears where Colossus, one of the seven miracles of the ancient world, used to stand.
