Seven Springs
Tag 3-4
Are you ready for some adventure? Next stop, Seven Springs in Kolympia. The water of the springs and river Loutanis is channeled into a tunnel through which it is led to the lake. On the way... The tunnel was constructed by Italian constructors and local workers and was completed in 1931. This dark and narrow path leading to Rhodes’ natural heaven. At the end of the 150-long tunnel, there is a lake created by a dam completed in 1931. The lake is 200 metres long, 10 to 50 metres wide and 1 to 8 metres deep. It is the only place in Rhodes where visitors can enjoy a swim in fresh water, cool natural springs and a beautiful forest around the lake. Don't forget to bring the necessary gear! -Wear comfortable shoes or even better flip-flops because the tunnel’s floor has a constant water flow. -Keep a bottle of water with you! -7 springs is the purest, natural spot of Rhodes that differentiates itself from the rest of the island! So make sure to bring your camera. After this adventure for sure we’ll get hungry. Lucky us, there is an amazing restaurant with top quality food, traditional dishes and a lot of refreshments. Perfect place to recharge our batteries!

Butterflies Valley
Tag 4-5
The Valley of Butterflies is a natural park located at a distance of 23 km from the capital Rhodes and belongs to a Natura 20001 protected zone. It is the place where tiger moths of the species Panaxia Quadripunctaria gather in summer. This species of butterfly is common in the Mediterranean, in Europe and in Western Asia. A small river, named Pelecanos, flows down to a narrow valley, ending with a waterfall that tumbles into a green pool. On the bends there is a forest of zitia, a species of tree that excretes an aromatic raisin, which is said to attracts the butterflies. The combination of the valley’s microclimate with its exceptional flora, creates the ideal environment for the breed of a large population of caterpillars, that live on the trees and feed from the tender leaves. During the summer visitors can observe a unique phenomenon that made the valley famous. Millions of months gathered on the trees, in some cases covering entire tree trunks, resting for the night. Aside from the butterflies, the valley is full of lush vegetation and rich fauna. Surrounded by huge rocks, century-old trees and the flowing crystalline water, a narrow pebbly pathway with wooden bridges will guide you through a scenery of rare beauty until you reach the top of the creek. Lower, in the entry of the valley, there is a small but interesting Natural History Museum where visitors can learn more about the valley of Butterflies its unique ecosystem.

Lindos
Tag 5-6
Situated on a hilltop and surrounded by an enchanting bay and pristine beach, the fishing village of Lindos is famous for both its historical and natural beauty. Unwind at mythical St. Paul’s Bay before visiting the Acropolis of Lindos, the Lindos Archaeological Museum, and other historical sites in the area. And the best way to go to Linda’s is by boat. Trust me. So, get ready for a boat tour starting from Rhodes, having some stops meanwhile at some very magical beaches. This is a must and we can’t miss it.

Symi
Tag 6-7
Symi is a little boutique island very close to Rhodes. And the only way to go there is by boat. We will spend almost all day having also a stop in a very beautiful bay. We will have enough time to go around, having a lunch and walk through the center. Then we will have our way back to the marina.

Medieval City of Rhodes
Tag 7
Exploring the medieval Old Town of Rhodes is like stepping into a world of chivalry and knights, with castle walls and cobblestone streets… a scene that’s unlike any other on a Greek island. Rhodes Old Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988, but it’s not your classic heritage spot and it’s certainly unlike the main town of any other Greek island. Continuously inhabited since medieval times, it was a sovereign state under the rule of the Knights of the Order of St John in the Middle Ages until it fell to the Ottomans in 1522. Many knights accepted the offer of safe passage and fled but other residents remained, resulting in a uniquely multicultural city. The streets are so well-preserved that you half expect a knight on horseback to ride past at any time. And that’s before you turn into the Ottoman or Jewish districts, which have a very different feel to them. And yet Rhodes town also retains a distinctive Greek island vibe. Unique experience walking around the castle. Join me and let's have unforgettable memories together.
