See you again next summer, have a nice winter.
Our idea is astrotourism.
With the telescopes of the observatoriy in the Astronomy Café you have the opportunity to observe the sun, moon, planets, galaxies and much more with your own eyes.
The most impressive pictures are those of the moon craters to be admired. Please note that the moon is not visible in the sky every night. Our solar telescopes are equipped with special protective filters. In solar observation the astronomer takes pictures with a special high-resolution ccd camera and sends them to your email. Experience live the chromospheric and photospheric phenomena on the surface of our sun. Giant protuberances, solar flares, sunspots, spicules and cranules become visible with the special solar telescopes. Book Now!
CLOSED ON SUNDAYS.
NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN WITH BARE EYES. RISK OF BLINDING!
Access to the observatory is only allowed to children who are older than 7 years.
We are the first to offer an astro-garden with a special observation place for the summer – solstice with bearing mark, a static geographic compass with distance informations, a representation of the largest known stars and much more..
In the lovingly designed “star garden” with its astronomical / geographical demonstration objects such as the “living sundial”, celestial science can be experienced “live” and is made understandable for everyone through play.
THE OBSERVATIONS IN THE OBSERVATORIES ARE LIMITED TO 30 MINUTES.
Astronomy Studios
Astronomy Studios has a total of six rooms with modern decor and modern equipment. They are located in a quiet area with a privileged panoramic view to the sea, which predisposes the guest to spend his holidays in a quiet natural landscape. The combination of a holiday with observing the starry sky of Rhodes through the telescopes of our observatory gives the holiday a special touch and offers the visitor a special experience.
