Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Valley of the Butterflies, Petaloudes Greece
Visit most of the Rhodes island in one day! On this Private Half Island tour, you will see and learn more about Butterfly Valley, Rhodes City or Lindos, and other attractions on the way with an English speaking guide just for you.
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.
We will stop at on part of the valley, where you don't need to pay entrance fee. Then optional - if you like - you can pay entrance fee and go deeper into the valley.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Lindos Beach, Lindos 851 07 Greece
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.
Acropolis of Lindos is optional. If you like you can go to visit it and to pay entrance fee, which is not included in our price.
