Very friendly host and lovely place - Very friendly host and lovely place. It can be recommended, however, the children must be quite patient. The host obviously knows a lot about aromatic substances and likes to tell. We got cool drinks and delicious watermelon upon arrival.

A Hidden Gem Worth the Drive - We visited the Adonis Botanic Garden and had a wonderful experience. You’ll definitely need a car to get there, as it’s tucked away off the beaten path—but it’s absolutely worth the trip.
The host was incredibly welcoming, with a clear passion and deep knowledge of the local flora and their uses. The tour was informative and engaging, giving great insight into the traditional uses of herbs and plants in the region.
We especially enjoyed sampling the fresh, homemade cordials and refreshing drinks—perfect on a warm day! There was also a great opportunity to try various aromatic oils, and we ended up buying a few favorites to take home.
Do note that it’s a small place, so don’t expect a long garden walk. But what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in charm and authenticity. Highly recommended for anyone interested in nature, wellness, or local Cypriot traditions.

Don’t miss this - Beautiful place - but you need a car to get there! Host is clearly really knowledgeable and enthused about the whole place! He knows every plant, every herbal remedy and how to talk the hind leg off a donkey!!
Very welcoming and you get given refreshments of his home made cordials, home grown fruit, try his essential oils plus tour this beautiful place,

Beautiful location & self sufficiency. - Fantastically hosted by Michalis. He created these gardens over the last 10 years from a barren hillside and what a wonder they are. He immediately treated his visitors as guests and friends, he was warm, welcoming and funny. This is like a Cypriot version of 'The Good life'....I was there over 3 hours and the time flew by....well worth the time and drive over the challenging track to get there....I would visit again.

Amazing thing to add to your holiday inventory - Family of three.. We had a hire car and considering where it is, I'm not sure how you would do this without a car. We drove to this botanical garden, which concludes with winding gravel roads up the mountains.
Upon arrival, we were welcomed in and enjoyed a splash of essential oil and homemade lemonade. The tour around was really interesting and even held the attention of our 6 year old daughter.
I won't detail everything, because it's best to experience it. I certainly recommend adding this to your holiday inventory.

Adonis Botanic Garden - visited with a friend on 9th April 2025. - An absolutely hidden gem. If you love nature, flowers, aromatherapy, herbal remedies or all things wild and spiritual, you're sure to have a great time. Dr Michaelis is so knowledgable and passionate about his subject and his beautiful place and the €10 fee for the tour and tasting was amazing value. We somehow managed to lose four entire hours there and we didn't even stay for a meal or swim in the pool! Will definitely be back to order more of the wonderful products he makes and for a night or two chilling out in the glamping pods. I'm on my 31st visit to Cyprus and thought I'd run out of new places to discover but this is definitely one of the most fabulous days out I've had! Highly recommended.
