Butterfly Valley
First stop is the valley of butterfly which is home to the ''Jersey Tiger Moth'' (Euplagia quadripunctaria rhodosensis), a species of moth that is unique to Rhodes. These moths have distinctive orange and black wings and can be seen fluttering around the valley from June to September. Butterfly Valley offers well-maintained walking trails that allow our visitors to explore the area. The trails take you through dense forests, past small streams, and lead to a small waterfall. The entire hike takes around 30-40 minutes, and it's a relatively easy and enjoyable walk.
