Amazing place to visit and to observe the butterflies in their habitat. The path is very quite because otherwise the butterflies would be disturbed.
The path is aprox. 1km long and the end is a terrace where you can buy drinks and to relax a little bit.
Recommend to check out the Butterflies Valley.

Such a serene place to visit. Really quiet because you need to be because of the butterflies. The walk is nice. You have your choice of 3 parking lots. Lot 1 is at the bottom, 2 is at the middle, and 3 is further up. I'd recommend lot 1 because you see some terpanines, a nice water feature, and it gently rolls you into the butterflies (technically moths). Try to go early in the morning before the crowds hit otherwise there are just throngs of people. Get your souvenirs early and bring a fair amount of water. FYI: they charge to use the bathroom.
A very nice 2 hours spent going up and down the trail. Very cool to see so many butterflies!
Better get there early, as after 11 it’s difficult to navigate through the crowds. The path is quite narrow and the traffic gets you moving faster than you would want occasionally.
The monastery at the top is worth visiting as it holds a very cool shade and also an excellent view!

Second time I went because the first time with the island trip wasn't long enough.
To go there fir the second time I bought tickets from the Bus station, I think it was around 12-15 euro, the bus leaves at 10-11am and it leave from the butterfly valley at 15pm.
Very nice ambience with shading, cool, river flowing and butterflies flying.
Be aware, you have a few steps because you climb on the mountain so take comfortable shoes.
Very nice time, I loved it.

A beautiful place to escape from the crowded Rhodes. Great atmosphere. Forest, greenery, brooks, peace and butterflies flying madly. Like in fairy tales. A memorable place if you love nature. I recommend! I visited the upper part of the park and really enjoyed it. I did not reach the lower one, it was very hot during the fires.
Nice place if you fancy a break from the beach or a swimming pool.
Valley is split into two parts. In my opinion, it's best to start at the bottom entrance. It's 5€ to enter (kids under 10 are free).
It's worth nothing that there are many butterflies there. However, they are all the same type, so if you expect a huge variety of colours, this is not the case. Nevertheless, it's worth the visit. You can also see some turtles, fresh water crabs, fish, or lizards. Kids will love it for sure.
We stopped for ice cream halfway and quick lunch at the top (walk gets steep at the very end, but there us a bar up there with all you need to drink and eat to take rest before walking back)
Definitely recommended to visit when in Rhodes

Visited on 2nd July. There were thousands of butterflies, and the surrounding area is beautiful. The whole area is really well looked after and the €5 entry fee is definitely worth it. You can really see a lot of time, money and effort has gone into making this place special.
It is a big climb to the top, and the paths aren't great so make sure you are healthy enough to climb in the soaring heat. Take water with you
Plenty of parking available but a 5-10 minute walk up or down to the park entrance which Is also quite steep.
Would highly recommend
