Why you should visit The Butterfly Valley in Rhodes
One of the many natural gems scattered across the Mediterranean, the Butterfly Valley in Rhodes lies on the western side of the island. Nestled in a picturesque patch of mountain greenery and rock formations, the Valley is approximately 20 minutes away from (by walk) the nearest village of Theologos. Home to millions of butterflies, which arrive at the end of their metamorphosis journey – living as both caterpillar and butterfly. Their life begins sometime in the rainy season, as the larva of butterflies hatches from their eggs, eventually becoming their dashingly colorful counterparts at the end of May. Interestingly enough the valley is their end destination as they seek brook-like wet paths and areas which even change into tiny lakes and waterfalls.
