About this experience
Enjoy a relaxed 5-hour experience that shows you a more real, everyday side of Rhodes. Simple, scenic, and easygoing. Start with a drive through Rhodes City, passing the Old Town walls and the modern streets where locals live and work. It’s not just sightseeing — it’s a glimpse into daily island life, with your driver sharing small stories along the way. Then head up to Filerimos Hill, a quiet, green spot above the island. Walk under the trees, see the monastery area, and reach the big cross viewpoint with wide views over Rhodes. It’s the kind of place locals go when they want peace, wind, and a break from everything. Continue to the Valley of the Butterflies, a cool shaded valley with little paths, wooden bridges, and streams. In summer, butterflies gather here in the thousands, resting quietly on the trees — a soft, almost calming experience rather than something rushed or crowded. A short but meaningful trip that mixes city, views, and nature at an easy local pace.

What you'll see and do
Rhodes Town
The excursion starts with a drive outside the walls of the Medieval Town where Byzantine, Ottoman and Italian architecture is witnessed. We continue to the entrance of the Old Harbor (Mandraki) where, according to the tradition, the Colossus of Rhodes (one of the seven ancient world wonders) once stood. Close to the entrance of the Old Port is the "Church of Annunciation of the Virgin Mary", where today is the town's cathedral church. Driving towards the northernmost tip of Rhodes, we will see the Aquarium of Rhodes, which is the ideal place for those wishing to see the spot where the Aegean and the Mediterranean Sea meet each other. As we drive up to the Acropolis of Rhodes City you will have a picturesque panoramic view from Monte Smith Hill. The familiarizations of the temple of Apollo, the Greek Stadium and the Greek Amphitheatre are then followed in order to become a knowledgeable resident.

Mount Filerimos
An important archaeological site dedicated to the Virgin Mary, Filerimos is situated inland between Rhodes town and the airport on the west coast. The monastery has ancient icons and within the site are the remains of the Temple of Athena Polias. Arriving at the top of the hill, you will notice the ruins of ancient Ialyssos to the right side, and to the left a little kiosk with souvenirs and beverages. In the ’20s, during the reconstruction of the Monastery, a very important part was added to the Mt Filerimos – the Calvary route (via Crucis or the road to Golgotha). It sets off from the square that leads to the westernmost point of the hill. The 400 m stone-paved path is dotted with 14 Holy Shrines, presenting Jesus Christ’s Passions and his way to Calvary. At the end of the path is a small square with an imposing cross 17.8 m (58.4 ft) overlooking the Northeast part of the island.

Valley of the Butterflies
To continue the day, head into one of Rhodes’ most peaceful spots — the Valley of the Butterflies. This is a quiet, green escape from the coast, where the air feels cooler and everything slows down. You’ll walk along shaded paths, small wooden bridges, and streams tucked between pine trees, with the scent of sweetgum trees all around you. In the summer months, thousands of butterflies gather here, resting on tree trunks and rocks. It’s not staged or artificial — just a natural phenomenon that happens every year, and it gives the valley a calm, almost dreamlike feel. It’s an easy, relaxed stop, perfect for families or anyone who just wants a break in nature before heading back. Along the way, your driver shares bits of local life and stories about Rhodes, so the experience feels more personal and grounded. By the time you leave, it’s less about ticking a place off a list and more about having spent a quiet, memorable moment in nature.

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour in New Town Filerimos and Butterflies Valley: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Private Tour in New Town Filerimos and Butterflies Valley cost?
+
Prices start at $400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour in New Town Filerimos and Butterflies Valley take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.
Is Private Tour in New Town Filerimos and Butterflies Valley worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour in New Town Filerimos and Butterflies Valley?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour in New Town Filerimos and Butterflies Valley suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour in New Town Filerimos and Butterflies Valley?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour in New Town Filerimos and Butterflies Valley start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rhodes?
+
On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks, Rhodes Exclusive Swim Cruise Cocktail Open bar & Gourmet Buffet. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rhodes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
