Huge fenced in park. Part of it has species of plants from all over the world, labeled in Greek and Latin. Part of it is natural forest. There is a wildlife conservation area, play areas for kids, and a memorial monument. We had a long, delightful walk in the shady forest listening to cicadas and birds. Close to the entry there is noise from the road. There is a large café with a nice playground...

A truly wonderful place! Very well kept, safe and peaceful. Highly recommend you take your own drinks etc, there’s a cafe besides the garden, but not accessible from within. Book online before you go - they allow 300 people at a time.

This is a beautiful garden! The flower garden area is especially lovely, the useful herbs, bamboo, fruit trees, pines, cypress, etc. are all marvelous. The variety of plants and trees is enormous, from every part of the world, and all are labeled with the scientific name in Latin and Greek, as well as the Greek common name.
