M	Matteo Mercati on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Peaceful place just behind football pitch on the hills of Rethymno. Cozy mini ecosystem, nicely explained by volunteers. Mostly plants of the island, but also turtles, chameleons, little snakes. Cave and old wine press included. Definitely worth a stop, interesting for kids too.
T	Tracey Maxwell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Toured guide around to explain about the flowers and environment. €5 each. It takes about 45 minutes.
S	Susanne Schwing on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The passionate park team is guiding you through the Biotopoi to experience the wild Cretan flora&fauna and this will touch your senses and makes you feel good? When it's hot, we recommend to come early, as it's very sunny up the hill ?
J	Juho Moilanen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very interesting place, enthusiastic guides and lovely scenery. Totally worth the walk up the hill and the small fee. Child friendly.
C	Caitlyn Miller on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very informative about the native Cretan plants, lovely guided tour and a nice taverna next door for refreshments after walking around in the sun.
D	Djinn Fairbairn on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful place to visit n learn how healing the land is. Vegetation dressed in bright colours under the Cretan sun provides nourishment for bees, dragonflies, frogs and more. The Nature Park is commendable at its attempt to preserve its beauty n educate the visitors. Visits are based on donations (5€) and it's a non profit organization. After my visit, I am more than willing to donate for its upkeep, for the future generations. Thank u for the experience ???
I	Ino Haasbroek on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited during corona times. Came in as the first of the day and felt like walking into a friends’ house. Tour was perfect and with great views over the city. Tour costs €5 and totally worth it. They also cater to groups of school kids during the year to learn about the ecosystems on Crete.
D	Diego on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is an amazing park that i would recommend to everyone interested in nature! Me and my girlfriend went here around 10am to get here you need to hike up a mountain (what was a challenge) but you already got a look at the amazing view you would get later! When we arrived we where greated by the amazing volunteers (they are from multiple countries) we got tastefull cold water and had a little chat! After the chat one of the volunteers gave us a tour, he was dutch just like us so that was great! He told us a lot about the plants and animals that live in Crete! It was amazing to learn so much information about Crete and it's rich flora and founa :) After the amazing tour we went up the mountain and got a beautiful view of rethymnon! And the mountains surrounding it, gave us goosebumps! It's also nice and windy so you want melt away! They close at 1pm so keep that in mind when you are going! The entrance fee is €5,00 but absolutely whort it to support this great place and it's people! You can also buy herbs that are grown with the amazing plants there! Go support them :)
