An interactive excursion in the Botanical Park of Chania, where kids and parents will smell, touch, observe and discover the uniqueness of Crete and its flora.
EXCLUSIVELY FOR FAMILIES & GROUPS OF CHILDREN 5-13 YEARS OLD

Scientists have described Crete as... "the Miniscule Continent"... Can you imagine why?
Crete is a small island in the middle of 3 continents: Africa, Asia, Europe... and it combines characteristics of all of them! Its fauna and flora are the most impressive example of this historical and geological "sharing". Our passionate guide will make you discover the three continents in a impressively green and beautiful Botanical Park, at the outskirts of the renowned Natural Park of Samaria.

Description

Just a few kilometers away from Chania, between the sea and the mountains, at the feet of the White Mountains, lies a beautiful open-air botanical garden: an area full of mysterious trees, plants and animals ready to be discovered. The well-preserved path crossing it will lead us through sensorial and educational games to the exploration of this hill and the different climatic zones that it represents.

With the help of a guide, kids and their parents can smell, touch and observe this microcosmos. The game will guide us through paths between trees and flowers in order to find clues to understand why Cretan nature is so important.
