What to expect

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, Rhodes, 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.


Duration: 50 minutes
