What to expect

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.

    This trip does not match the write up at all. It promises a pirate adventure with lots for the kids. They sat my son down gave him a paper to color and walked away. They played the song “messy” which repeats the f word 5 times in the chorus. They played a bomb game that didn’t include my son. The treasure hunt was a 5 minute thing at then end. It was absolutely awful and I would NOT reccomend it to anyone.

    Hade önskat mer aktivitet och inlevelse/show för barnen. Det var liksom inget märkvärdigt. Hade också önskat något typ av snacks/dricka för barnen då de behöver fylla på med energi under dagen. Flytväst att erbjuda och att gå igenom vart dessa finns om olyckan är framme.

Nat Geo Day Tour: L'affascinante mondo delle api

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.
