Greece is home to some utterly breath-taking landscapes, iconic ruins, picture-perfect towns, and natural wonders from monasteries perched on towering rock formations to white-washed villages looking over the sea to ancient pillars still standing proud on hilltops. However, one of the most astounding and magical beauties in the entire country has to be the Valley of the Butterflies, or Petaloúdes that can be visited by those who book a vacation rental in Greece.
Located on the island of Rhodes, this 600-acre nature park is the only natural forest of Liquidambar orientalis (Oriental Sweetgum trees) in Europe. A green valley dotted with waterfalls and moss-covered rocks and cut through by rivers, this lush garden of delights is where the Jersey Tiger (Panaxia Quadripunctaria), a nocturnal moth, makes its home each summer.
