About the Cephalonia Botanica

Cephalonia Botanica presents many native plants of the Ionian Islands in a natural setting, with a delightful stream running through the center. Formerly a neglected olive grove, the Garden began its journey with the new Millennium at the initiative of the Focas-Cosmetatos Foundation. Today is a place dedicated to the display and conservation of the native flora; also, a place of tranquility and relaxation
