DONKEY SAFARI
Donkeys have played a very important role in Greece’s economic and cultural society. Carrying goods, wines, transporting travelers and individual such as doctors. Even today Lindos does not have accessible paths for vehicles, therefore donkeys help facilitate people to climb the Ancient Acropolis and other locations which are difficult by foot. There is something rather soothing reliving age old times, which is why we are introducing the Donkey Safari. Starting from ASKLIPIO Village moving on through the mountains, there you will discover wild herbs, flowers and the pine forests. The mule driver will then lead on a river bank under the sade of pine trees where you can stop for a A special picnic, savoring local products
