a great place for those who wish to enjoy the beauty of nature. You will love the peaceful walk through the shaded, green valley with its small river and beautiful waterfalls. You are permanently surrounded by butterflies that camouflage the tree trunks as you walk to the top of the monastery, or take a moment to rest on one of the wooden benches along the road.

The Butterfly Valley is a unique nature reserve, which apart from its aesthetic value is the only natural forest of Liquidambar orientalis (Oriental Sweetgum trees) in Europe and a resting place for the Jersey tiger (Panaxia Quadripunctaria) , a nocturnal moth. The peak butterfly season in the valley is from late May to mid-September.

Now that you have encountered one of the most famous places in Rhodes, did you also know that in ancient times Rhodians were considered the largest wine merchants in the Mediterranean? Today’s wines are excellent.

Discover for yourself with a nearby family vineyard and winery. Wine is not just to drink, it is to smell, observe, taste, eat and talk about (Henry VII) and that is exactly what we will do. The winery owner guides you through the rich traditions and specialties of the vineyard as you walk through the vines until you sit on the large terrace that has the vineyard spread out before you.

Now it’s time to try some real local delicacies (dishes) either on the vineyard terrace or at a local village tavern. You can’t leave Rhodes without trying Greek salad, feta, eggplant salad, meatballs, pizza, tzatziki, freshly baked potatoes, pumpkin fritters, all cooked with Greek olive oil.
