Qué te espera

Each one of the Dodecanese Islands offers a distinctly different experience – and Symi is one of the most culturally rich of them all. You'll discover its laidback charm and visit sites such as Panormitis Monastery and a sponge maker. Fotini, one of our local guides, says, ‘Symi is one of the smallest and most picturesque Greek islands. The sight of the colourful houses as soon as you enter the harbour never fails to impress.'

The fun starts with a glide across the Aegean to Symi. The first stop is in the southwest of the island, at the vast, Venetian-style Panormitis Monastery. It is famed for its Byzantine frescoes and icon of St Michael, but most of all for its location right on the water's edge in a remote and sheltered bay. You'll also have free time to explore the site.

Next, you'll sail for Symi town itself. The arrival into the harbour is a joy to behold – tiers of pastel-coloured houses cascade down the surrounding hillsides. There's a guided tour of Symi town, too. And during the sponge maker visit, you'll learn about the island's sponge-diving heritage and its importance to the eco system surrounding the Symi. Your visit also helps support this traditional industry, vital to the local community. You'll get a small gift to take home, too. It's Fotini's favourite part of the experience. She says, ‘The old tradition of sponge diving has strongly affected the history and the customs of the Dodecanese Islands.'

Who can resist smiling when they see a butterfly? On this trip to northern Rhodes, you'll have literally millions of reasons to beam on this family-friendly adventure. You'll be collected from your hotel and whisked to Butterfly Valley on a scenic bus ride, where your guide will give you the lowdown on the butterfly park, its history and its flighty residents.

Take your time to wander through the park's green trails, pause at the waterfall for a selfie and see how many squares you can tick off on your bingo card as you look for your fluttering friends – the top three winners get a prize. Throughout the summer months you're likely to see a kaleidoscope of Jersey Tiger butterflies. These distinctive butterflies have brown wings with yellow stripes, but when they open up, they show off bright red hind wings – making them easier to spot.Hop back on the bus and head to Kalavarda Sea House, a traditional Greek restaurant by the beach where you can relax. The butterfly theme continues here, with creative crafts. Make your own butterfly souvenir, try your hand at drawing a nature scene from your trip, or let the children – and the young at heart – embrace their inner butterfly with face paints.

Guests can enjoy free time at Kalavarda Beach where there is the option to enjoy a typical Greek menu in a traditional family tavern.Your journey begins through the ruins of the ancient city of Kamiros.

We continue with our first photostop outside Monolithos Castle, from where you'll enjoy great views of the sea and the two islets opposite. This is an excursion that takes in remote areas of Rhodes, allowing you to see parts of the island that are far away from the busy coast.Next, the adventure takes us to the slopes of Mount Akramitis, where we'll visit Siana, a lively village known for its handcrafted patterned rugs, ceramics, and the potent, grape-infused sumas liqueur.
