Botanical Parks Visit & Tasting, Chania

Discover the colorful and diverse world inside Crete's Botanical Park and Gardens, thanks to the region's special micro-climate. You'll start with a welcome snack of herbal tea and fresh fruit, then enjoy free time to wander through three different climate zones. Look for tropical avocado trees, citrus trees, and other Mediterranean and sub-alpine flora. 

Whenever you're ready, you'll sit down to enjoy lunch on a beautiful terrace overlooking the park. As you dine on locally grown produce and ingredients sourced directly from the gardens, you'll learn a bit about traditional and modern Cretan cuisine. To end your meal, try the local digestive herb malotira, often called "the tea of the mountain." Or enjoy a stronger drink known as tsikoudia, a white local spirit.
