Nat Geo Day Tour: The Fascinating World of Bees

Get a close up look at the fascinating world of bees on this National Geographic Day Tour. You will gain valuable insights about these vital creatures and their important role on our planet, stressing the need to protect them to stop the decline of their populations. Our first stop is the Bee Museum of Rhodes. Here, you'll learn all about the remarkable insect from a specialist in beekeeping, gaining a deeper understanding of the behavior and communication methods of bees. Find out more about the important role the creature plays in our ecosystem, and witness a private honey extraction simulation led by a knowledgeable beekeeping practitioner. Indulge your senses when you sample different types of local honey. Then, discover the techniques behind the production of Rhode's traditional sweet, ‘melekouni' – a tasty treat made of honey and sesame seeds. Once you've mastered the process, you will get to prepare the treat by yourself during an interactive workshop. The highlight of the tour awaits at the apiary, where you'll put on a beekeeper suit and meet a bee farmer to witness the life of a hive up close. Admire the teamwork and hierarchy of the bee community, and develop a practical awareness of the hive's organization, while you marvel at the honeybees in their habitat. This immersive journey offers a profound appreciation for the crucial influence of bees on our biosphere, providing you with a newfound knowledge and lasting memories.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Medieval Rhodes, a Photography Tour

Rhodes is one of the most photographed cities in Greece thanks to the world-class heritage bequeathed by the medieval Knights Hospitaller. The Order of St John of Jerusalem occupied Rhodes from 1309 to 1523, transforming the city into a stronghold. Their fortifications will be the focus of your photography masterclass. How will you capture the story of Rhodes through your images? Your visit begins with a theory session where your National Geographic-trained photography guide will share tips on composition, lighting, and storytelling through photography. To add an exciting dimension to your day's photography, your tutor will run a competition to find the best shot of the day. With that motivation, you'll walk around the perimeter of the fortress and through the huge gateway, capturing shots of the medieval elements. As you enter the old walled town of Rhodes – which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988 – more exciting shooting locations will reveal themselves, including the Street of Knights and the Clock Tower. Your guide will offer technical advice, demonstrate the best angles, and point out good places to capture wow-factor photos. Once the photography tour is complete, you'll relax over refreshments and discuss the day's images with your guide, who will give your group an evaluation of the day's work. The best image will be chosen in the context of its connection with National Geographic values, and once the decision has been made, a winner will be declared.
