The butterflies
Not far from Parikia there is a valley called Petaloudes where, in July & august, thousands of butterflies gather and cover all.
You can take a bus there. At the bus stop there is normally a local peasant waiting for tourists. He takes you up the valley in his pick up for 1 euro. Walking is about 20 minutes...
At the Kastro you can still see the parts of the Athena Temple that venetians used as building material for the fortress.
You can see the round column slices...
