A Captivating Natural Wonder! The Valley of the Butterflies is truly a natural wonder! The fresh air, lush green forest, and crystal-clear stream leave you in awe. As you walk through, you feel like you are embraced by nature itself. The serenity and tranquility surround you at every step. If you really want to immerse yourself in nature, this is definitely a place to visit. However, for those planning to visit with babies, there are a few important things to keep in mind: Inside the valley, there are many stairs and steep slopes, so it's not suitable for strollers. The walk may be challenging, but I guarantee every moment will be worth it. Also, due to the forested area, the humidity inside is quite high, so be prepared to sweat! Bringing extra clothes could be a good idea. The journey to the valley is just as remarkable as the destination itself, but the road is quite bumpy and winding. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's something to be mindful of before setting out. Besides the butterflies, you can also spot some adorable little crabs along the path. Be careful while walking or driving not to accidentally step on or run over them. They're a lovely part of the valley’s charm and deserve just as much attention. Despite these challenges, visiting the Valley of the Butterflies was an unforgettable experience for me. The peace and calm that come from being so close to nature is something you can't find anywhere else. If you find yourself in Rhodes, make sure to add this magical place to your list!

We visited in October, so it's not the season to see any butterflies. We did see one, though, and everyone took a photo. The valley is beautiful enough without butterflies, and we really enjoyed the walk up and back down. It would have been perfect in the right season, but they told us the queues were very long at this time, so I'm pretty happy we had the opportunity to explore without the large crowds. There is a rest stop at the top, which is very welcome with fresh orange juice and snacks. Be wary of public toilets in Rhodes. They all cost 20 cents, so have plenty available. Due to the location, a cup of coffee cost between €6 - €9. Be wary of no prices on menus. They will charge according to where you're from and when you ask how much a drink costs. We made the mistake on our first day to just ask for a coffee, a smoothie, and a coke, which cost us the equivalent to £30 - we didn't ask for a price prior to ordering, and no prices on the menu. There are plenty of cheaper places available in Rhodes.

Butterfly Valley” or in Greek “Petaloudes Valley” is found on the island of Rhodes here you can soak in the atmosphere of this natural park full of babbling streams, small waterfalls, and lakes. You can go for a stroll on a wooden paths and cross over quaint bridges in this idyllic 600- acre nature reserve that offers a summer home for the rare (Panaxia Quadripunctaria) butterfly (bur infant it's actually a moth!) The valley can be found on the western side of the island and is about 10 km from the airport and 25 km from the City of Rhodes. The swarms of multi-colored butterflies arrive from all over the island between June and September and these creatures lay their eggs at the end of the wet season and are usually found clinging to the many Zitia or Oriental Sweetgum trees. The main natural enemies of Panaxia are frogs, lizards, crabs and bats. There is a small admission fee of 5€ and children under 12 are free.

An interesting diversion if you are on Rhodes for multiple days AND if you don't mind a steep climb up a rocky/paved trail. The only "butterflies" you're likely to see are actually Jersey Tiger moths who gather here at the end of their short adult lives to mate and die. We were here in late June and they were beginning to gather in abundance. They rest on trees, rocks, etc. and flutter about whimsically around the prescribed trail which follows a cool mountain stream that runs down the hill. You also might spot freshwater crabs that live around the stream, lizards, and occasional turtles. Very shady and a nice break from the towns below. Caveat: Come here early in the morning (8:30-9ish) and you will almost have the trail to yourself. The crowds start building by the late morning which makes the short trek less relaxing and more hectic.

The parking is free and you have 3 parking spots to choose I think. The entrance is cheap (5€). The valley is very nice build. Tour on the top is kinda exhausting ,but you will go slowly ,to see the butterflies and because there are really too much people and you have nowhere to go. We were there in July at 10AM and it was overcrowded. There is really lots of butterflies,most of them on trees and rock . If you wait you will see the packs of butterflies flying. But we saw only one type of butterfly. If you reach the top ,there is refreshments and drinks. We tried mountain tea with lemon and honey and it was great and I recommend that to refresh yourself. We had tea and bottle of water for 6€. Path down is better. You will enjoy it more about 8AM I think with less people otherwise if you want watch butterflies you stuck the road for all.
