Butterflies Valley
Rhodes, Greece Park
One of the Best Places To Visits in Paradeisi Butterflies Valley offers a rewarding experience for nature lovers, especially when butterflies are abundant. Be prepared for a challenging walk with steep sections and high humidity. Visit during the butterfly season for the best experience, but be mindful of potential crowds. Outside of butterfly season, the scenery is still worthwhile if seeking a change of pace. The best time to see butterflies is during their season (typically summer months). The trail is not suitable for strollers due to stairs and steep slopes. Wear appropriate footwear (trainers). Bring water, as it's humid. Kiosk prices are high, consider bringing your own refreshments. Consider visiting early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid peak crowds. The journey to the valley can be bumpy. 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. Quite spectacular to catch the butterflies in the height of their season, must be millions of them lining the trees and rocks throughout the valley. Very nice place to visit in nature , is a good place to cool yourself. In all fairness didn’t see that many butterflies but the walk was very scenic and calm. It is after 2/3 of the route when you discover the stunning amount of butterflies. Bring water, it is very humid and hot.

Amazing place. As you enter, you may think you will see just a few butterflies. However, it is after 2/3 of the route when you discover the stunning amount of butterflies. Bring water, it is very humid and hot. Bar is quite expensive, but their slushes are irresistible and for 6 euros apiece, they will be your reward for the walk, which is 1.5 km ( and return). Car park are a little bit far away Been here 10 years ago (to a different part) it was lovely and relaxing then, it seems to have become much more commercial with several car parks and costly snack bar. Car parking is far away and there is no accessibility - we had to down a long, dangerous (steep road on a blind bend) to get to the entrance - so hectic with cars and people! cost was 18 euros for 3 of us, it’s all steep slippery steps so you need to be very fit and in trainers with good grip. Saw some small frogs and loads of moths right at the end of the season (early September). We visited out of season using the thrice daily local bus. Lovely, valley, even without butterflies. Lovely place to best time was told july-aug we went end of Sept still lovely. Lots of steps so may be not for people with walking problems, we managed but had stops to rest as knee arthritis caused bit of problem. review: ⸻ Butterfly Valley, Rhodes – A Peaceful Escape into Nature Butterfly is truly a unique and magical place to in Rhodes. The scenery is absolutely stunning, with lush greenery and a calm, peaceful atmosphere that feels like a different world. During my visit, a wild goat passed by and set off a cloud of – such an unforgettable sight! The trails are pleasant, but I would strongly wearing proper shoes as the paths are not suitable for flip-flops. You’ll enjoy the much more with comfortable footwear. It’s a great spot to relax, enjoy nature, and take some wonderful photos. If you’re visiting Rhodes and love serene, natural places, this should definitely be on your list! The of the is a hidden gem in Rhodes – peaceful, unique, and absolutely a visit. Walking through the shaded paths surrounded by lush greenery and waterfalls feels like stepping into another world. During the summer months, thousands of gather here, creating a magical atmosphere that's hard to describe in words. Take your time to enjoy the calm, listen to the sound of water and nature, and if you can, climb up to the monastery at the top for a panoramic view. Wear comfortable shoes – it's a gentle hike but with some steps – and bring your camera, because every corner is a picture waiting to happen. A place where shows its most delicate side. Truly unforgettable! Really nice! The butterfly’s are only in the summer but valleys is really nice and to go. The give is discount because no butterfly’s now. Nice walks you can start from the bottom, middle or at the top. We started at the bottom. in the heart of Rhodes hills. I would an early start to beat the crowds and cars that arrive mid morning. The is about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 round trip if you take it easy. Most of the are in the upper valley, take an information leaflet when you pay your 6€ (Sept 2025) entrance fee to read the short write up on the valley. Would trainers or likes for footwear as paths are cobbles and uneven in places. a early morning trip Butterfly is a truly unique experience — walking through the shaded paths surrounded by lush greenery and hearing the gentle sound of running water feels like stepping into another world. The sight of thousands of resting on the trees is absolutely breathtaking and something you don’t see every day. The is easy and suitable for families, with spots to rest along the way. The fresh air and natural beauty make it a perfect break from the busy tourist spots. Staff are friendly and keep the area well maintained. Tip: in the morning for a quieter experience and wear comfortable shoes for the paths. Highly recommended for lovers and photographers! Visited here on a day trip, was an incredible place with extremely friendly staff. The was much longer than expected and is split into two sections which you can use the same ticket for. Ticket price for adults is €6.00 each. The views, landscape and scenery was beautiful. Not forgetting the 🦋 all around. It was an extremely hot day due to heat wave, so this did stop a lot of the flying around but was still the visit. I’d 100% wearing trainers or suitable footwear as the stairs to different sections are extremely steep. We also saw a few tumbles along the way. Definitely a visit. We also ended the day Ali with some lunch and coffee on the terrace, amazing service and incredible staff that work there. Lovely forest trail. In all fairness didn’t see that many but the was very scenic and calm. Only a few people were about. At the top and the bottom of the trail were places to sit down and order drinks. When it comes to on Rhodes, this is indeed an interesting valley. The trail consists of two stages: you through a gorge among trees and shrubs, along a stream, with the occasional small waterfall or pond. Wooden footbridges, benches to rest on, and the occasional butterfly create a pleasant atmosphere. However, the path goes uphill, with plenty of stone steps, so in 40°C heat (we had 49°C that day – we wanted to cool down) this activity is not for everyone. At the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the trail, there are toilet facilities (they cost €0.50 – a bit of a pity that it’s not free when you eat in the restaurant or in the park), restaurants, and rest areas. We had a coffee, and it was okay. In August 2025, the entrance fee is €6. You uphill in a crowd, on a stone path, and “admire” the charms of the valley. In my opinion, those charms are rather average. The price is adequate for the attraction. a visit, but it’s not on the TOP list for Rhodes. We were in the butterfly on September 18th and luckily we saw a lot of butterflies. They are orange in flight, and after landing, their wings are brown and white. There were many visitors, the entrance fee was 6 €. I highly it! A place. It makes a nice change to be in the countryside surrounded by trees and water. Sadly in October there are no but I actually don't mind that, i just fancied a change of scenery. You don't need more than an hour or so here though and beware the prices at the kiosk. I think it was over 4 euros for a small coffee and 3 for water. You even have to pay for the toilet. If it's busy here it would be a bit of a nightmare like the ingleton waterfall trail in Yorkshire.... when quiet, hell. when busy Very nice place to in , is a good place to cool yourself, we have been there in august so outside were 45 degrees . It’s a place for lovers , you can see the only 3 months/ year ( I put photo ) you will need like 1-1.5 hours to all , there are 2 parts of the park , is better to take from below and to go up to the hill , price is 6€/ person . Come here in JUNE until AUGUST because there are NO any other time of the year!!! Very beautifull uphill and when you get to the end be shure to up to the emergency exit, it was open for everyone and there is a beautifull monastery when you go up the road. Definitely checking out! Ps; no tp in the bathrooms at the monastery. A fine, yet challenging though a unique setting. Although quite a trek it was pleasant to be under the cover of trees on yet another scorching day on the island of Rhodes. Good value-for-money experience too. Quite spectacular to catch the in the height of their season, must be millions of them lining the trees and rocks throughout the valley. Cannot be helped but some areas were quite dried out, yet not as badly as the 7 Springs we had visited earlier. We visited here during outside the season and it was free entry during then. Of course there was no but we knew that before visiting. was nice and calm. Path is not that long, many stairs also! On the way there all you can see is green… this is what i love ! When i arrived there i was so excited since now its not time for the to be there because usually they go when its more cold but despite that i have seen some butterflies… i felt very and peaceful… i it to lovers ☺️ A Captivating Natural Wonder! The of the is truly a natural wonder! The fresh air, lush green forest, and crystal-clear stream leave you in awe. As you through, you feel like you are embraced by 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 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 may be challenging, but I guarantee every moment will be 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 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 of the was an unforgettable experience for me. The peace and that come from being so close to is something you can't find anywhere else. If you find yourself in Rhodes, make sure to add this magical place to your list! Lovely trails with stunning and enviroment, only downside was the amount of high steps but it was very it even tho we visited before the actual butterfly hatching. Bring plenty to drink and i do driving there yourself so you can enjoy it and take your time there.
