The island of Rhodos is recognized for its rich vegetation and natural beauty, as the canyon of Pelekanos River hosts a unique Valley that is named after the Panaxia Quatripunctaria Butterfly. The Valley of the Butterflies ('Petaloudes' in Greek) with its vast density of Liquidambar Styrax trees and the sweet smell of the resin that it produces, attracts swarms of butterflies, which lay their eggs at the end of the wet season and are usually found clinging to the Styrax trees.
