[2]Origanum Onites

As you walk through Neapolis, your nostrils will fill with the intense, pungent scent of oregano, one of the most popular aromatic plants in the park.
A very rare species of oregano called Origanum onites (Greek oregano) grows on the mountain relief of the Temenite Hill.
The name of this plant comes from the ancient Greek language and consists of two words: “oros” meaning mountain and “ganos” meaning splendour and beauty.
