The botanical gardens of Crete. 20 hectare of land filled with plants and flowers.
Crete has a huge botanical garden near Chania. As said above, it's 20 hectare of nature. Everywhere you look you will see flowers, plants and trees. All round you is filled with color and butterflies.
Further down the garden is a lake and a small zoo. A path takes you from a restaurant down the valley which is the botanical garden. During your path you can decide whether to take the short or the long path(I advice the long one).
Most plants offer information about them, and during your walk you come across signs which are intended to make you aware of the importance of not only these plants, but nature itself.
A great walk and a great experience!
