What to expect
Ancient Olympic Stadium - Rhodes
Where the cultural scene of the Olympic Games and the values of the ancient Greeks are highlighted during the first stage, while during the second the children enter the spirit of the games with the help of experiential and non-competitive games as they teach concepts such as ''noble rivalry'' and the ''healthy mind in a healthy body''.
It is a place where the only beekeeping and natural history bee museum in Greece is located, which in itself is a pleasant experience for young and old. Visitors can see the wonder bee world through transparent observation hives, learn about history, biology, bee products, honey and fertilization. Finally, they can taste different types of honey or other bee derivatives and learn about their importance in our daily diet.
One of Europe's rare habitats, where during the summer period it is a refuge for a particular species of nightmares. The location is ideal for walking and experiential meditation as visitors are obliged to move slowly and silently due to the sensitivity of the butterflies to the noises.
A destination in nature, where visitors have the opportunity to admire rare animals and birds. It is allowed to feed the animals, which makes it special as experience. Children are taught respect and care for animals as well as particular characteristics of the animals they observe. There is a restaurant where optionally food is suitable.
Last stop is at the 7km long beach of Afandou where after a reference to the importance of cleanliness of seas and beaches participants can enjoy the clear blue sea!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
