    About this experience

    Dotted with sleepy villages, pine-clad mountains and age-old ruins, western Rhodes has a rugged beauty all of its own. You'll visit the ancient city of Kamiros, the mountain villages of Embona and Siana as well as Butterfly Valley – home to hundreds of Callimorpha butterflies. First up is Butterfly Valley – a natural park home to hundreds of the friendly, fluttering creatures. Wander along shaded walkways and enjoy the calming pools of trickling water as you observe these colorful insects. Next, you'll travel back in time at ancient Kamiros. The tidily laid out streets and remains of the agora and acropolis will give you a sense of the 5th century BC. You'll get an app on entry, which shows how the city would have looked in 3D. Next, you'll have free time for lunch in Embona – the highest village in Rhodes – and visit the mountain-side settlement of Siana.

    Great day out looking at the sights of Western Rhodes

    Great day out. Nice pace of the tour. Knowledgeable guide (her name was Katherine). Excellent restaurant with amazing food (huge portion sizes, hot and so tasty). Food is an additional cost to the trip. It was €19 for fish or €17 for meat (chicken) which includes wine, water and soft drink. Kamiros architectural site is incredible but again an additional cost. If you don't pay there is nothing to do and you can't even use the cafe or toilets. It is very much worth doing this extra but I do not understand why it isn't included in the excursion cost?! The orthodox Church is very pretty. The viewpoint for photos is just stunning! The wine and suma tasting was not for my tastes but the gift shop was peasant and big. Includes honey tasting too. Butterfly valley was amazing but it is steep in places. We needed longer here really - again entrance is extra and not included in the experience and I do not understand why. Lasts a full 8 hours but we thoroughly enjoyed it.

    2 adventurous walks

    Two beautiful and just the right amount of challenging terrain. Wear proper walking shoes/boots and don’t forget to bring a pair of rubber thongs or similar to walk through the tunnel at 7 Springs. It is a bit stoney at the beginning but most of the tunnel is smooth underfoot if you have to do it barefoot. At 7 Springs there is only a sit down restaurant doing full meals so not suitable for the relatively short time we are there so bring something to eat eat as there are only drinks otherwise

    Not worth the amount of money but good trip

    The village tour part of the trip was great got to see local produce and try some but then you had to pay for the archeological site (€6 each ) and then get to butterfly part of tour which is a main item to find out only an hour in there and another €6 euros each when there is 5km of butterfly valley so was disappointing

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued guest, Thank you for your feedback and the time you dedicated to write it. Please note that our services are managed by a booking department and had a booking fee. Nevertheless, your comments really matter to our local team to improve the quality's standard service by applying the appropriate corrective actions. Kind regards, Customer Service Team

    Western Rhodes Villages and Butterfly Valley Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.

    How much does Western Rhodes Villages and Butterfly Valley Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $44 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 Western Rhodes Villages and Butterfly Valley Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Western Rhodes Villages and Butterfly Valley Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 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 Western Rhodes Villages and Butterfly Valley Tour?

    +

    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 Western Rhodes Villages and Butterfly Valley Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Western Rhodes Villages and Butterfly Valley Tour?

    +

    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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Western Rhodes Villages and Butterfly Valley Tour 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.
