Detailed description

Private discoverer tour in wonderful surroundings in Rhodes with butterfly valley and wine tasting

This exclusive day trip takes you into an idyllic gorge in the northwest of Rhodes. The valley of butterflies was named after the numerous butterflies found there and stretches over a length of about 5 kilometres. However, the natural spectacle can only be admired from mid-June to September. Then many thousands of butterflies cavort there, which are to be assigned to the family of the bear moth. The reason for the high occurrence of these jersey tigers are the oriental amber trees, which are native to the gorge and whose resin smell attracts them. Up to 1000 butterflies romp around on one cubic meter. But even without this natural spectacle, a leisurely hike through the gorge is a real pleasure for nature lovers, just like the wine tasting afterwards on a charming winery. There you can delve deeper into Rhodian wine culture and experience up close how the noble wines are produced. You will be guided through the vineyards and the wine cellar and of course you can taste the local wines.

You start in the morning at a meeting point or at your hotel in Rhodes city and drive directly to the gorge, which you will explore on your own without a guide. The butterfly valley attracts with a wonderful landscape that will enchant you. The valley floor can be easily reached via the paths, stairs and wooden footbridges. It is an idyllic and beautiful environment whose charm is hard to resist. The waters in the gorge, a river and a lake, contribute to the special atmosphere at this place. At the right time of the year you will see an incredible number of butterfly shoals romping around on the trunks of the amber trees. Due to their colouring in black, white and orange/red they give the trees their unique appearance. The ticket for the butterfly valley in Rhodes is of course included in the price. Even if you will not see any butterflies, don't be disappointed, enjoy the fantastic scenery in the gorge. The tour to the butterfly valley in Rhodes has even more to offer, as the tour continues with a visit of a winery with wine tasting.
