Familiarly unfamiliar plants from around the world and your local supermarket
Botanical Gardens Of Crete的点评
点评:The garden is a fascinating insight into the diversity of plant life on Planet Earth. You get to see the plants that are the source of the everyday stuff you buy in the supermarket (from turmeric to lychee, be it root or fruit). There's something familiarly unfamiliar at every turn as you drop down every terrace and back up again. Then as you get back to the top of the hill, you can visit the restaurant which looks back down the terraces and get a welcome drink, snack or a meal (note that we visited on a Sunday and it was quite busy).
Just be aware that it's probably not the easiest tourist attraction to visit, especially if it's hot and you're in your 70's like us. Fortunately, we visited in mid October so the temperature was in the low 20's which turned out to be a blessing as we would have struggled if it had been hotter. My wife and I are in our mid 70s and even though we're reasonably fit, we decided not to attempt the full route to the bottom and opted for the short cut which was probably a wise decision
翻译:这座花园是了解地球上植物多样性的绝佳视角。你可以看到超市日常用品的来源(从姜黄到荔枝,无论是根还是果实)。当你走下每个梯田再上来时,每次转弯都会有一些熟悉而陌生的东西。然后,当你回到山顶时,你可以去俯瞰梯田的餐厅,享用迎宾饮料、小吃或餐点(请注意,我们是在周日去的,那里很忙)。
请注意,这可能不是最容易参观的旅游景点,特别是如果天气炎热,而你又像我们一样 70 多岁。幸运的是,我们是在 10 月中旬去的,所以温度在 20 度以下,这是一件幸事,因为如果天气更热的话,我们就会很难受。我和我的妻子都 70 多岁了,尽管我们身体还算健康,但我们决定不尝试走完整条路线到达山脚,而是选择了捷径,这可能是一个明智的决定
