This is a great activity to do when in Rhodes as its completely different and means you get to see butterflies with small kids walking around you while exercising walking on the hill. More

Through our tourist guide we knew that the jersey tiger moths are only around until September so we weren't too surprised to not find any. We had hoped for the little creeks, though. But perhaps out of financial reasons they literally "turn the tab off". When looking closer we noticed that the creeks were man-made and supplied with water through... More

We went there earlyish one morning and it was very easy to find on the map. Although they are moths and not actually butterflies it is amazing to see so many there in one place. I am frightened of moths in the uk, i know you say whats the difference, but there is a difference because they are red and... More

This is a great activity to do when in Rhodes as its completely different and means you get to see a side of the island that is less explored. It cost 5 EUR to get in and then a 20-30 min walk up the valley. Be persistent and keep going as the further up you go, the more moths you... More

Bus 22 takes there, 10.20E return ticket, 45 min ride, entrance 5e, we were there in 2nd week of July, quite many butterflies. But it is only once species, the buss from town 9.30 is fine, because at noon there is too much people. The creek water is man-made, in July it would dry otherwise... Climb up, there is a... More

If you like the beauty of nature you have to see this. We went here in july late in the afternoon and its was quit relaxing because the busloades of tourists were already gone. So we had a pleasant walk through the butterfly valley and it was quit relaxing. There's a path you have to follow and on the way... More

The name sounds better than the real thing! Although it's a great place to visit, when you are in the island. maybe we were not so lucky, as we didn't see so many butterflies. the walk though the valley is nice, and a small restaurant at the end serves a small variety of food and refreshments. entrance ticket required, said...

The walk up the valley is beautuful, its very green with a lovely river running through it. The Butterflies are only there for a few months each year (spring time) but the place is gorgeous regardless. The walk is quite hard going as its uphill but its a very slow steady climb to a monastry at the top with stunning... More
