What you'll see and do
Valley of the Butterflies
Our excursion is very unique because we drop off the people on the northern entrance of the valley,making it more relaxed and more fullfiling because you see the whole valley instead of only the lower part that most competitors stop and people maybbe reach the middle if they are fit.

Abandoned and scammed
I want all tourists who rely on this agency to be on guard; I booked an excursion, paying and registering for the Valley of the Butterflies, received all the instructions for the appointment with the name and photo of the driver and car, we waited in vain for 40 minutes. We called them, but they hung up and said they did not understand. Thanks to the help of hotel staff who called for us several times, they gave us another appointment - but the driver was already at the arrival location - we intercepted another minibus that, after discussions and phone calls to the office, allowed us to go with them. Zero professionalism. Be wary and do not trust them, we thank Tomas who was kind.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review!our dispatcher didn’t know Italian so he forwarded it to us,which we manage with the help of your receptionist to guide you to the second bus because the driver was Italian speaking and based on his words you had an excellent time.Your review is about our dispatcher but an honest review should also cover Thomas our driver who had an excellent time with you.We promise next time to enrich our office with multilingual staff that can help in situations like this.We apologise for the inconvenience to wait but we assure you that was intended to provide you with an Italian speaking driver Thomas.

Beautiful nature. Not so...
Beautiful nature. Not so many butterflies although they claim June is their "season". Too crowded, I am afraid it's not good for the spot and it's inhabitants. People with disabilities or young kids should keep in mind part of the route is hilly. The cafe at the entrance/exit is amazing and maybe that is why RAI UNO made a film about it. Unfortunately the monastery at the top and the exhibition were closed.

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Valley of Butterflies Escape from Rhodes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Valley of Butterflies Escape from Rhodes cost?
+
Prices start at $13 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 Valley of Butterflies Escape from Rhodes take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 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 Valley of Butterflies Escape from Rhodes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.5/5 across 2 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 Valley of Butterflies Escape from Rhodes?
+
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 Valley of Butterflies Escape from Rhodes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Valley of Butterflies Escape from Rhodes?
+
Around 1 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 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Valley of Butterflies Escape from Rhodes 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, Rhodes Exclusive Swim Cruise Cocktail Open bar & Gourmet Buffet, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks. 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.
