The Botanic Garden tour is a pleasant experience in the variegated world of plant species<\/strong>. Each plant of the route is an integral part of the vegetation, and it is marked with its own name. Shapes<\/strong>, scents <\/strong>and colours contribute<\/strong> to the development <\/strong>of a multi-sensorial knowledge and an intimate harmony with natural environment<\/strong>. Together with spontaneous herbs that grow in the park, you will find fruits of agriculture, too. In this way children can learn the plants which correspond to the vegetables and fruit they normally consume and the added value of the organic seasonal crop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A fun tour that continues from the olive grove up to the mill, to explain the processes of pressing, storage and bottling.
