What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Valley of the Butterflies, Rhodes, Petaloudes Greece
From mid June until mid of September, thousands of butterflies of the genus Panaxia (species Quadripunctaria Poda) swarm into the valley in order to reproduce. You will love the peaceful walk through the shaded, green valley with its small river and the beautiful waterfalls.
After this beautiful walk inside the Butterflies Valley, you are on your way to the local family owned vineyard and winery. Walk through the vineyard, listen to the owner talking about his indigenous and international varietals and explaining how wine is produced.
Then, sit at the large veranda having the vineyard in front of you. Taste the wines and have a lunch with plenty of local dishes, such as greek salad, feta cheese, eggplant salad, meat balls, chickpeas pies (pittaroudia), tzatziki, fresh fried potatoes, pumpkin balls, all cooked with Greek olive oil.
You can buy bottles of wines with labels not found in the market, exclusively made for the winery’s visitors.

We really enjoyed this tour and it was a welcome change from the coast. Our guide, Alex, took us into the interior of Rhodes which is completely different to the more developed areas. It’s very green and our walk through the valley of butterflies was so relaxing and cooling. Then we took a little wine tasting before heading into the mountains. We stopped at an amazing small 15c church before taking a huge lunch in Apollonon - we couldn’t finish it despite Alex choosing delicious authentic dishes. If you enjoy walking, culture and getting away from the bustle then you’ll really enjoy this.We were picked up by Alexis who was the perfect guide. He was extremely personable and had a vast knowledge of the island making this a day of fun and adventure. We then went to do our wine tasting.

We were picked up by Alexis who was the perfect guide. He was extremely personable and had a vast knowledge of the island making this a day of fun and adventure. We then went to do our wine tasting. It was a small family owned winery so it was great to have Jason, who is the 3rd generation winemaker, take us around and explain the vineyards and winemaking process. After that we went to Butterfly Valley. This is a once in a lifetime breathtaking experience. I have never seen anything like it before. Lunch was on the Windward side of the island where we could watch people kite surfing. The lunch was outstanding consisting of a variety of authentic Greek dishes. I would definitely recommend this tour.Very nice and friendly guide. Great service and host at the wine tasting. Maybe to have a bit more wine to taste, but great overall and very nice lunch.

To be honest, superb experience. It’s difficult to really give feedback on this one adventure. After our day of butterfly and wine, we continued with this tour company for the majority of our vacation (doing 2 other tours!) Our tour guide, Alex and his colleague Visilius were fantastic, friendly and very helpful. This is really the first tour company where I found myself really feeling like I was with friends! We loved our time and carried on with 2 other excursions. They give lots of options and ideas! If you’re looking for a personalized tour, considering your wants/needs... you can’t go any further!My wife and I booked this tour, but were able to customize it since we had already visited Butterfly Valley.

My wife and I booked this tour, but were able to customize it since we had already visited Butterfly Valley. Vasilis picked us up and took us to a few beautiful locations that we hadn't heard of before, giving us plenty of time to look around and providing information as we went along. The wine tasting itself was really nice, at a family-run winery. Since the winery is currently not providing lunch every day, we were taken to a little traditional cantina on the beach where we had a fantastic selection of Greek food, that Vasilis picked out for us based on what we like. All in all a really great experience, both for the locations you'll visit and for the friendly, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.It was just me and my daughter, Vasilis picked us up and stopped for an early morning iced coffee which was a nice touch.

It was just me and my daughter, Vasilis picked us up and stopped for an early morning iced coffee which was a nice touch. Then on to the butterfly valley where we had 2 hours to explore but didn’t feel rushed. Then the wine tasting where we had a private tour of the vineyard and plenty wine to taste as well as olive oils and honey. Next on to an out of the way lunch spot with amazing sea views and a fantastic lunch. Overall a great trip and worth every penny, would highly recommend
