Valley of Butterflies in Rhodes?

[nm1999]

I learned about this cool place on Rhdoes I want to see.

Valley of Butterflies is a sanctuary on Rhodes for severe; species of butterflies and is worth a visit. This natural haven is nestled in the middle of a winding stream and surrounded by rocky hills, flowers, and trees. The valley is home to abundant flora and fauna, including 150 different types of butterflies and moths such as the Jersey Tiger Moth, the Spotted Fritillary Butterfly, and the Painted Lady Butterfly.

The best time to visit this natural paradise is from late June to early September. During this period, the butterflies start their 5-day mating cycle, creating beautiful yellow-colored walls along the Rhodos stream. Visiting this place during this period gives you the chance to revel in the delightful colors and aroma of butterflies fluttering around your head.

I found this great video about it:

I don't know I fi will have a chance to go next year, but it really does look neat!

As you see in the video they are NOT butterflys. They are Tiger moths. Not very colourful just a rather dull brown. There are not as you state 150 types of butterflys in the valley

I'm not sure the details of the types of butterflies that live there. In the user's post, they said "150 types of butterflies and moths" live there. Looks like both butterflies and moths congregate there but that was based on research, not on actually having been there. Is that accurate? Also, it looks like @nm1999 is simply gathering information about it and hasn't physically gone. Have you been? Is it nice and worth visiting? I haven't been either and am curious.

I live on Rhodes & have only been through the valley once. Got bitten many times by mosquitos. Some of the wooden walk ways were in need of repair. I dont know if they have been fixed now.

Good to know that there are mosquitos - thank you for chiming in! It is much appreciated. I haven't been either and would love to.
