"Five miles away from the city, on the west side, lies the biggest botanical garden of the eastern Mediterranean. With over 4,000 plant species from every corner of the world, this is an excellent spot to connect with nature. This is the only botanical garden where you will see some of the plants mentioned in Greek mythology and the Bible — even the poisonous plant conium maculatum, which was used to kill Socrates.The garden is divided into seven thematic yards and a greenhouse, all of which offer a different experience of colors and aromas depending on the season you visit. The garden is also a haven for wildlife such as foxes, hares, ferrets, and owls. The site never gets packed, but make an early start to savor the nature’s awakening. By the entrance, a homey cafeteria — and an ideal meeting and resting point — serves snacks, desserts, and beverages. You can visit the premises every day between 8:00 AM and sunset for free." - MATADOR_NETWORK
