Description

Escape into nature and discover Rhodes’ most beautiful green landscapes on a relaxing day trip to the Valley of the Butterflies and the Seven Springs Valley. During the journey, your driver will provide a specially designed map with useful information and directions, allowing you to prepare for the visit or simply relax and enjoy the scenery. Your day begins with a drive to the Valley of the Butterflies, where you’ll have around 2 hours to explore at your own pace along shaded paths, wooden bridges, and streams. During the butterfly season (July to September), observe thousands of Panaxia quadripunctaria butterflies resting in the cool valley. Outside the season, the valley remains a peaceful, lush nature park, ideal for a quiet walk and nature photography, still worth a visit! Your driver will be waiting with an air-conditioned bus for a comfortable 45-minute drive through the countryside to Rhodes’ east coast and your next destination. Continue exploring and spend another 2 hours surrounded by greenery, freshwater springs, and towering pine and plane trees. Relax at the open-air café, have lunch, or, if you wish, walk through the famous narrow tunnel leading to a small lake, dam, and waterfall. After an active day in nature, return comfortably to your pickup point in Rhodes.
