A Walk in the Botanical Garden of Crete

The Botanical Garden is the perfect alternative choice for a day trip away from the noise of the city and the crowded beaches.

The exotic landscape here is composed of rare specimens of the local flora and fauna, as well as tropical and subtropical species from around the world. New samples are added daily, changing the appearance of the Botanical Park and giving visitors a reason to enjoy it again and again.

The garden' s plants come from three different climatic zones (Mediterranean, tropical, alpine), making it unique in Europe. Following the paths, you will encounter tropical and fruit-bearing trees, citrus trees, herbs, and vineyards. Descending, the lush landscape is complemented by a lake that hosts ducks, geese, and other waterfowl.

No matter what time of year you visit the Botanical Garden, you will be impressed by the colours, scents, and variety of species.
