Fantastic trip to Filerumos & Butterfly Valley - Prompt pickup, departure and arrival times. Just enough time at each site for sightseeing, 30 minutes longer at Butterfly Valley would have been useful as we went to the monastery at the very top but did not have time for a drink or to look at the lower valley. There were more colonies of butterflies nearer the top and we enjoyed spotting the crabs along the way too. The minibus was very comfortable and air conditioned. Our driver was well spoken and gave us helpful information on arrival at each site plus an informational leaflet. We were picked up at 10am & returned to our hotel at 2:30 which meant we could still enjoy some sunbathing & relaxation time by the pool. Thank you.

Beautiful Filerimos!! - The trip to Filerimos was absolutely fantastic. The church and old fortress are an absolute must visit. The views from the whole area are stunning and the beautiful walkways adorning the area are fantastic. Its wonderful to view the many peacocks roaming the ares freely. The valley of the butterflies whilst very picturesque is a little bit of a let down. The many paths & walkways are very crowded even in late September and its difficult to appreciate the wonderful nature because of this.
