Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Profitis Ilias, Salakos Greece
Take a refreshing drive inland through pine and fir forests toward Profitis Ilias, Rhodes' third tallest mountain. Stop first at a fountain where you can see gizani, a tiny, rare species of fish found only in Rhodes.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Agios Nikolaos Fountoukli, Epar. Od. Profitis Ilias, Eleousa Greece
On Eleousa village square, walk carefully through an abandoned Italian occupation-era building. Drive a little further to marvel at fading Byzantine frescoes in minuscule 15th-century Agios Nikolaos Foundoukli chapel.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Valley of the Butterflies, Petaloudes Greece
The vintner guides you to the rich traditions and specialties of his vineyard as you walk through the vines until you sit on the large veranda having the vineyard spreading in front of you.
Now it's time to taste some local varieties found only in Rhodes.
Duration: 50 minutes
Stop At: Piperis Winery, Epar. Od. Apollona 46, Apollona 850 16 Greece
Apollona village is thought to be named after Apollo, the mythological god of light. Meet the "Apolloniatisses", the Apollona Women's Agritourism Cooperative that treat you with melekouni (a Rhodian sesame and honey sweet originally reserved for weddings), and other handmade traditional Rhodian sweets. Visit a traditional residence of the previous century with a "pagka", raised bed by the fireplace.
Duration: 50 minutes
Stop At: Valley of the Butterflies, Petaloudes Greece
Optional visit at the Butterflies Valley (Full-Day Tour). Walk the mile-long pathway through forest alongside a creek up to Kalopetra Monastery. Keep your eyes peeled for the well-camouflaged Panaxia Quadripunctaria, actually a species of jersey tiger moth. Silence is golden, particularly during the May to September breeding season, the only period you may catch sight of the elusive creature.
Duration: 50 minutes
Stop At: Ancient Kamiros, Kalavarda Greece
Optional visit at the City of Ancient Kamiros (Full-Day Tour). You have the opportunity to wander around the ruins of the so called "Greece’s Pompeii“ of the 5th century B.C. and admire the sea view in front of you.
