RHODES - Butterflies Valley & Walking TourDepart from the pier and drive along the western side of the island of Rhodes, where lies the Valley of the Butterflies (Petaloudes), one of the most attractive destinations on the island. During August, thousands of butterflies of the genus Panaxia overwhelm the valley in order to reproduce. During the rainy period, the Butterflies in the caterpillar stage remain in the Mediterranean thicket feeding on the foliage. As the end of the wet season approaches, towards the end of May, the final stage is concluded and the butterfly in all her perfection makes her appearance in the form recognizable to us all. They move constantly towards areas of highest humidity, always following the water ways, as the dry period progresses, they finally arrive at the valley.Driving back to Rhodes Town you will continue your tour on foot, following your guide through the narrow, cobblestone streets. The most imposing building of medieval Rhodes, the Palace of the Grand Masters dominates the end of the Street of the Knights. Built in the 14th century, it astonishes you with its unique architecture and an unrivalled patina of time. Walking down the Street of the Knights and passing through numerous, colourful shops, you can admire the 15th century Hospital of the Knights which now houses the Archaeological Museum.At the end of the walking tour, you may choose to browse on your own a little longer and return to the ship on foot or join your coach to return directly to the ship. The ship is within sight and it takes approximately 10 minutes walking.

RHODES - Lindos & Panayia Tsambika Monastery
We depart from the port of Rhodes, driving along the picturesque Eastern Coastline that is scattered with white washed villages, until we reach Lindos.
The medieval walls, constructed by the Knights of St. John in the 13th century, guard this enchanting site of the most important of the three great cities of ancient times. Here we will have free time to enjoy this lovely, picturesque town, shop for souvenirs and lounge at the local cafes. The more adventurous can join their guide in climbing up to the Acropolis to visit the Doric Portico and the Temple of the Lindian Athena (entrance fee payable on the spot at Euro 6.00 per person) *.
From the Acropolis, which stands on the brink of a precipice 400 feet above the sea, we can enjoy breathtaking views of the great expanse of the sea and St. Paul’s Bay where the Apostle himself cast anchor during his historic trip to Ephessos.

RHODES - Panayia Tsambika Monastery & Village of Archangelos
The first impression of Archangelos Village is the one of a typical Greek provincial town. However, Archangelos is regarded as one of the most faithful to the village traditions; this picturesque village, with its narrow, winding streets and the nice old houses, is the largest one on the island. A typical Greek village. It has a tradition of carpet weaving and pottery which dates back many hundreds of years. The church of the Archangel Michael dominates the centre of the village, with its fine bell tower dating from 1845. Thanks to the traditional houses painted in vivid colours and their arches and walls decorated with ceramic plates from Lindos, the narrow streets around the church retain a distinctive Greek atmosphere. On the slopes of the nearby Mount Strongylos there still live some of the small, black, wild horses of the region, which the local people used in olden times for threshing the grain. On your way back from Archangelos you will make a stop at the Monastery of “Panayia Tsambika”. The old Monastery is located at the top of a hill in the eastern part of the island. According to tradition, an icon of the virgin disappeared from Cyprus during the 12th century and re-appeared on the spot where the Monastery was built. A second Monastery was subsequently built on lower ground, which is the one you visit.
