Lindos and the Acropolis: The Past Comes to Life
Ascension to the gods in heaven and a walk between ancient columns, an impressive panorama of the sea, the sky, the town and the heart-shaped bay of the Apostle Paul. Here I will tell you about the intricacies of the cult of the goddess - vegetarian and the miracles she performed, about the "manlikeness" of architecture, about ancient newspapers and much more. The narrow streets of the medieval town will lead us to the captain’s house, where you will learn about the richness of Lindos during the Ottoman rule and about the city’s wealth.
Monastery – A touch of spirituality
A visit to the monastery will open the veil of the mystery of monastic life, and communication with monks will surprise us with their unusual way of thinking and depth of philosophical views.
gastronomy
The high-mountain village of Embona will discover the colourful world of Greek cuisine with its rustic delicacies, wines and olive gifts.
Ancient Kamiros or Butterfly Gorge
Ancient streets, houses, squares, baths, shops, a unique water supply system and sewerage amaze visitors to the ancient city of Kamiros. Left in ancient times by people, Kamiros is called the Greek Pommies.
For nature lovers, the ruins of the ancient city can be replaced by the Valley of Butterflies. A walk along the gorge will give coolness, enjoy the sounds of a murmuring river, a riot of greenery and thousands of fluttering butterflies, creating a fairy tale atmosphere and ideal opportunities for photos.
Filerimos Hill Final
The end of the tour is the Philerimos hill, where oaks and cypresses are drowning in lush greenery, the ruins of the ancient Acropolis coexist with a medieval monastery and an underground church.
