A day-trip to the Botanical Park of Crete

Botanical Park of Crete



15th km from National Road of Hania
Fournes, Omalos, Crete - Mobile phone: 6976860573
We went on a sunny day in November, but the Park is an attraction for most of the year, especially of course in late summer/early autumn when many of the trees are heavy with ripe fruit.
