Set inside a quiet botanical garden outside Larnaca, this guided experience moves along paths of wild herbs and seasonal flowers where a guide explains how plants are cultivated and used. The day pairs a demonstration of essential-oil distillation and a hands-on workshop to make your own aromatic tonic mist with a seasonal three-course vegetarian lunch. In the afternoon you visit an organic olive grove for a gentle harvesting moment and finish with an olive oil tasting and time to linger in nature.
