Places near Platania
Near the villages of Malonas and Massari, visit the Xetripiti gorge. The river Makari and the surroundings’ natural beauty are certain to enthuse, while the easy access makes this one of the island’s best excursions.
Located just a few kilometres from the city centre, the Valley of Butterflies with its deep ravine and lush forest has been for ages a refuge for millions of the colourful winged creatures. In its shady slopes –between June and September- you’ll come across the rare Panaxia Quadripunctaria. The park’s footpath will lead you to Panagia Kalopera monastery, while within the park’s confines you may visit the Natural History museum and its butterfly incubator.
