Overview

The Valley of Butterflies in Rhodes is a serene natural park where thousands of Jersey Tiger Moths gather every summer, creating a stunning visual spectacle. Nestled in a lush green valley filled with shaded hiking trails, flowing streams, and small waterfalls, this unique ecosystem offers an escape from the typical beach experience. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks while observing butterflies resting on trees and rocks, and the historic Kalopetra Monastery adds a touch of culture to the visit. Sometimes the monastery is closed so we are not responsible for it.Ideal for nature enthusiasts, families, and photographers, the valley is a must-see destination in Rhodes, especially from mid-June to early September.The valley closes end of October.It opens May 1st so please book between may through October.Always book in advance at least 24hrs before the next day of departure at 10am.
