Farm Adventure

Initially known for its ostrich population, the farm in Rhodes has transformed into a full-fledged animal park where visitors, especially children, can closely interact with various creatures. Guests are welcome to feed the animals, capture cheerful selfies, and even cuddle with the baby ostriches, guaranteeing a delightful experience for every youngster.

Visitors to our farm will discover a menagerie beyond just ostriches. Guests can interact with a variety of gentle creatures, including llamas, camels, kangaroos, donkeys, deer, wild boars, sheep, mouflons, porcupines, and raccoons, and even take a delightful pony ride.

 The farm staff are dedicated to educating the young ones about animal care and sharing amusing anecdotes from the animals' lives. Safety concerns? Unnecessary. The animals are so accustomed to human presence that they are completely tame and affectionate. And watch out for the domestic birds—they might just follow you around in hopes of a tasty treat!

Explore our vast farmland where you can interact with animals, then enjoy a leisurely stroll amidst the native plants, perfect for photography enthusiasts! Be mindful that shade is scarce as trees are few, so midday sun can be intense.

Visitors typically arrive by personal vehicle or with guided tours. If driving from Rhodes, take the island’s main southbound road, then head west at St. Paraskevi Church following signs. From Rhodes, there are also occasional bus services to the park, with a short walk to the farm.
