Hush, hush...thousands of Butterflies are resting here! The Valley of Butterflies is one of the most attractive destinations on the Island and an excellent place for those who wish to enjoy the beauties of nature. You will love the peaceful walk through the shaded, green valley with its small river and the beautiful waterfalls. You are permanently surrounded by butterflies camouflaging themselves against the tree trunks as you walk up towards the monastery at the top, or rest for a while on one of the wooden benches along the way (unguided). The Valley of Butterflies is a unique nature reserve, which apart from its aesthetic value, it is also the site of the only natural forest of Liquidambar orientalis (Oriental Sweetgum trees) in Europe, and a resting point for the Jersey tiger (Panaxia Quadripunctaria), a nocturnal moth. The period with the most butterflies in the valley is from late May until mid September. Now that you met one of the most renowned places in Rhodes, are you also aware that in ancient times Rhodians were considered the largest wine merchants in the Mediterranean? Today’s wines are excellent too. Find out yourselves by visiting a nearby family-run vineyard and winery. Wine is not only to drink, is to smell, observe, taste, sip and To talk about it (Henry VII) and these are exactly what we are going to do. The winery owner guides you to the rich traditions and specialties of his vineyard as you walk through the vines until you sit on the large veranda having the vineyard spreading in front of you. Now it's time to taste some real local mezedes (dishes) at the vineyard's veranda (upon request and on an extra cost). You cannot leave Rhodes without tasting the greek salad, feta cheese, eggplant salad, meat balls, chickpeas pies (pittaroudia), tzatziki, fresh fried potatoes, pumpkin balls, all cooked with Greek olive oil. You also have the opportunity to buy bottles of wines with labels not found in the market, exclusively made for the winery’s visitors.
