À quoi s'attendre
Variety is the name of the game on this trip which showcases the contrasting sides of Rhodes. Get back to nature at the renowned Butterfly Valley nature reserve, before a visit to the completely unspoilt and sleepy island of Chalki. "The appeal of Chalki is its laid-back vibe," says Maria, one of our expert local guides. "Most families here still know every boat in the harbour - island life doesn't get much simpler than this.”Journey to Rhodes's fertile interior in the morning, headed to the ecological sanctuary that is Butterfly Valley. 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. They make for quite the spectacle. “Most visitors know Rhodes for its beaches, but the island's heart is green, cool and surprisingly wild,” adds Maria.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. Take a walk around and enjoy this idyllic getaway and get a feel for traditional Greek island living. There'll also be time for a refreshing afternoon swim in Chalki's clear waters.
