  Fabulous experience having the full tour wirh Dr Michael. His knowledge of herbal medicine exceptional. I have never taken prescription medicine from childhood. Now age 69 Very serious Cardiac issues, Cancer 7 times, Osteoprosis, Rheumatism in the spine I still take no pharmaceuticals. I had an idyllic two week stay staying in Lavendar pod. Dr Michael,his wife,his staff and puppy dog made me feel one of their family. Currently stuck in India for 4 weeks in and out of hospitals not stable enough to fly back to London.

  We stumbled across the gardens by accident whilst out cycling and we were so pleased we did. a wonderful welcome from Maria and then an extremely interesting chat from Michalis while he talked us through and allowed us to sample the essential oils they make from their garden. we were so well looked after with refreshments and samples of fruit from the garden. Michalis is so knowledgeable and we found the tour of the gardens to be very interesting. such warm, genuine, informative hosts. we were sent on our way with water and warmth in our hearts. I 100% recommend this little gem to anyone visiting Cyprus. Good luck with The Masterplan 🤞🍀

  I walked over from Tala, which proved a challenge in the heat, however the welcome from Michalis and the experience made the effort well worthwhile. Michalis kept us all entertained, introducing us to numerous essential oils and the benefits of each, while keeping us hydrated with various juices all made with produce from the gardens and indeed the occasional Zivania, again made from the produce in the gardens. The time at his little bar was then followed by a tour of the gardens, where, again, Michalis imparted his knowledge of the various fona grown in the garden. Finally returning to the bar for, again home made carob juice. All in all a very informative and entertaining time, which we highly recomend you enjoy while in Cyprus.

  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.

  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,

  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.

  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.
