La tua introduzione a questo affascinante mondo inizia al Museo delle api di Rodi, con coinvolgenti mostre interattive. Scopri l'importanza dell'apicoltura mentre la tua guida formata da National Geographic spiega la storia del mantenimento delle colonie di api e dei loro alveari nelle isole dell'Egeo meridionale.
Osserva la vivace vita degli alveari attraverso arnie di osservazione trasparenti e scopri aneddoti interessanti sull'impollinazione e l'apiterapia, l'uso medicinale dei prodotti delle api. Apprenderai anche vari semplici modi per proteggere queste creature così vitali per l'ecosistema del nostro pianeta.
I viaggiatori di National Geographic potranno poi godere di un'esclusiva dimostrazione dal vivo dell'estrazione del miele da parte dello staff del Museo delle api in una stanza privata. Scopri le tecniche professionali come la graffiatura a nido d'ape e l'uso di strumenti come gli estrattori manuali per riempire i barattoli vuoti. Successivamente potrai degustare il miele appena estratto in uno spazio riservato esclusivamente ai gruppi National Geographic. Prova anche altri tipi di miele, comprese varietà come pino, timo ed erica. Inoltre, prova il famoso Melekouni, uno spuntino dolce tradizionale di Rodi.
Dopo la degustazione, indossa una tuta protettiva, dai un'occhiata a un apiario attivo ed esamina l'alveare aperto con un apicoltore qualificato. Circondato da un allegro ronzio, imparerai a conoscere strumenti importanti, come telai, affumicatori e raschietti, oltre ad acquisire una comprensione pratica di come sono organizzate le colonie di api.
Ripartirai con una nuova comprensione dell'umile ape e di cosa puoi fare per proteggerla.

Lindos Acropolis & Rhodes Old Town Highlights Tour
Few islands in Greece can match the heritage of Rhodes. And this wealth forms the centrepiece of this tour. Discover it all with an expert local guide. Dimitris, one of our guides, says, ‘Lindos was built in the 10th century BC by the Dorians. It's the third-most visited site in all of Greece, which shows just how significant it is.' You'll also enjoy a walking tour of the old town of Rhodes and see the Palace of the Grand Master. Headsets allow direct connection between you and your guide.Dimitris believes Rhodes is blessed with some of the best scenery in Greece. He says, ‘Lindos lies near a fantastic sandy beach, surrounded by hills hiding the village, protecting the place from the attacks of the pirates. On top of the small sugar cube houses stands the ancient Acropolis and the Temple of Athena.' You'll get to appreciate these very views during a coffee stop at a typical family-run café. Climb to the mountaintop Acropolis as your guide brings to life the myths and legends of the ancients as you take in views of St Paul's Bay below.Rounding off the day, we'll head to the old town Rhodes – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – for a guided tour. Because so much of the excursion is walking, it reduces the activity's carbon footprint. Wander the winding, cobbled streets, lined with historic houses and boutiques, and walk down the Street of the Knights. The star attraction is the Palace of the Grand Master – an enormous 13th-century fortress originally built by the Knights of St John.

Pirates of Rhodes Family-friendly Themed Cruise
Pirate Tim and Calypso the Parrot need your help to find their lost treasure. But first you need to be fully trained in all the skills you need to become a pirate. Eleni, one of our local crew members, says, 'Rhodes was once a hugely important trading post in the Mediterranean region, and pirates were a real threat to this success. The island's governors directed the Rhodes Navy to spend all their time policing the waters nearby in order to protect the ships carrying valuable goods such as salt and olive oil.' You'll join our plucky crew in search of the booty, and along the way everyone will get into the pirate spirit with some help from the pirate team on the boat. There'll be lots of fun activities for everyone to get involved with. For our little pirate crew, there'll be face painting and lots of pirate-themed games to play and for the older pirate crew, there'll be some pirate challenges to join in with. And no pirate adventure would be complete without a treasure map and clues to follow.Eleni says, 'Set sail with the pirates for a fun cruise with plenty to keep the kids occupied while the grown-ups can relax and admire the scenery. We'll stop at some lovely spots so all the pirates can cool off with a swim in the sea.' Fruit is included, plus there's a bar on board where you can buy drinks and snacks, in case all the excitement makes you hungry. This pirate cruise is all about swashbuckling fun for the whole family to enjoy.
