BOTANICAL HOLIDAYS
For Nature Lovers, for endemic and rare flora species “Hunters” but also for everyone who wants to experience, observe, and photograph something very fresh and different. A botanical week in the Protected Area of Regional Marine Park of Northern Karpathos Saria and Astakidonision will be a life-altering experience!
We are inviting you to discover and explore this beautiful place with us because no one else knows its secrets better than we do!
