Butterfly Valley is located at the base of Babadag Mountain
3-4 miles away from Oludeniz and is protected by the World Heritage
Foundation. It gets it's name from the unique butterfly species,
Jarsey Tiger seen between July and September, who have up until
recently been the only residents in the valley for thousands
of years. There are over 60 different species of butterfly in
the valley some appearing in the day time and others only venturing
out at night. There are many rare butterflies and for those
who are enthusiasts there is a small museum located in the valley
dedicated to giving more in depth information about the species
that can be found there.
In addition to the clouds of butterflies fluttering by, there
are also two small waterfalls to discover, providing a refreshingly
cool shower after a hike through the secret valley. There is
also a small white pebbled beach on which to relax and paddle
in the crystal clear Mediterranean waters.
Butterfly Valley can be reached via boat trips, and
if you would like more information speak to Mustafa who will
be happy to advise you.
