2Rhodes: The Green Oasis
Rhodes, one of the Dodecanese islands, is known for its diverse landscapes. While the east side of the island is more arid, the western side is surprisingly green. The Butterfly Valley (Petaloudes), a unique ecological area, is a haven for lush vegetation and colorful butterflies. The medieval town of Rhodes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is surrounded by a vibrant moat and lush gardens, adding to the island’s green allure.
