Botanic Park & Gardens of Crete
This is one for the nature and plant lovers out there! As it is well known, Crete is one of the most fertile lands in the world, attracting thousands of holidaymakers simply for its scenic and rich landscapes and stunning coastline.
Today we propose you visit the island’s blossoming Botanic Park and Gardens, where you will enter the magical world of nature!
The blossoming park is nestled at the foot of the dominating White Mountains, where you will set off on a two-kilometre path that guides you through a garden overflowing with colourful fruit trees and exotic flowers from all over the world. Each of the plants, trees and flowers found in the garden are labelled. As you walk through the green-covered park you can stop and rest at benches, amidst herb-scented spots.
The Botanic Park and Gardens provide visitors with a walking stick, a free bottle of water as well as a hat for their adventure! At the end of your walk, you may indulge in traditional Cretan dishes, served by the café-restaurant found in the park. All the dishes are seasoned by the herbs found at the Botanic Park and Gardens.
The blossoming Botanic Park and Gardens is an ideal oasis for those looking to escape the crowded and bustling city for a day out in nature!
