Wildlife and birding in Rhodes
Butterfly Valley (Petaloudes) is a serene sanctuary that attracts thousands of Panaxia quadripunctaria moths to its Zitia trees. Dama-dama deer live only on Rhodes in Greece, and fallow deer roam the pine and cypress forests of the interior. Peacocks walk freely through Rodini Park.
