The Valley of the Butterflies

The Valley of the Butterflies “Petaloudes Valley” is a setting of rare natural beauty. This natural beauty spot is a maze of walkways, waterfalls, rock pools, rustic bridges and resting places, with the air permeated by a sweet smell from the pine and storax trees.
During mid-June and the months of August and September, the Valley of the Butterflies hosts hundreds of thousands of panaxia quadripunktaria butterflies, coming to mate by the storax trees.

Storax trees, which smell like vanilla, exude a resin which is used by local churches to make.
A museum of natural history is planned for the site.
