Mediterranean fruit trees garden

One of the key differences of the Cretan diet from other Mediterranean diets is its substantial fruit consumption, as Crete has traditional fruit cultivations. The trees, fully adapted to the island's environment, produce exceptionally tasty fruits. Cretans consume six times more fruits than the average inhabitant of other Mediterranean areas and six times more than residents of northern countries. Visiting the Botanical Garden will introduce you to all the fruit-bearing trees of the Mediterranean.
