Countryside in Rhodes

Butterflies and Chalki Island
Variety is the name of the game on this vastly contrasted excursion. Journey inland in the morning, headed to the ecological sanctuary that is Butterfly Valley. At this renowned nature reserve, walk under the canopy of the forest, alongside waterfalls and ponds rich in wildlife. From mid-June to mid-September this is home to hundreds of thousands of Callimorpha butterflies, attracted by the resin of its storax trees. Afterwards, it's back to the coast where you'll board your boat to Chalki. This sleepy island has pretty houses scattered around the harbour where small fishing boats are moored.

Discover Rhodes Island Tour
With its sleepy villages, deserted pine-clad mountain trails and well-preserved classical ruins, western Rhodes is the perfect place to soak up the island's history and culture. Firstly, you'll travel back through the centuries at ancient Kamiros. The adjacent Agora and Acropolis will give you a real sense of how the residents went about their daily lives in the fifth century BC. Next up is Embona – the highest village in Rhodes – where you'll have free time for lunch. After a wine tasting, continue to Siana, a mountain-side settlement, then coastal Gennadi for a coffee and an insight into local life.

Rhodes Food & Wine Tour with a local guide
On this day of discovery, you'll explore the rustic villages of inland Rhodes and sample some of the island's favourite dishes. The fun starts in Asklipio, built around an ancient castle and an 11th-century church. Next up is Siana, where you'll get a snapshot of traditional life in the rugged hills away from the coast. After you've tried some locally pressed olive oil at a nearby mill, it's time for a wine tasting in Embona. And then we are off to Apollona for a Rhodian lunch. In the afternoon, there's a pit stop for coffee in Profitis Ilias en route to the Byzantine chapel of Agios Nikolaos in Fountoukli.

Full day Symi Tour including Panormitis Monastery
‘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,' says Fotini, your born and bred local guide on this full day excursion. Each 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 sights such as Panormitis Monastery and a sponge maker.
