The Gardens with their strange creations, located above the Fountain Square in the Upper Town, are reminiscent of the G\u00fcell Park in Barcelona or, in other words, a fake petrified forest. The park&#8217;s curious cluster of stone structures is said to have been built by a Turkish pasha who had his hermitage there. For some people it is considered an energy field and there are various stories with a strong metaphysical element.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;SEE \u039f\u03b9 \u03c0\u03c1\u03ce\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03c7\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd\u03b9\u03c6\u03ac\u03b4\u03b5\u03c2 \u201c\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03af\u03b6\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd\u201d \u03c4\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u03ad\u03c1\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u0392\u03bf\u03c1\u03c1\u03ac, \u03c7\u03b9\u03bb\u03b9\u03ac\u03b4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03bc\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03ac\u03ba\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c7\u03c4\u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03cd\u03bd \u03c3\u03b5 \u03b3\u03b9\u03bf\u03c1\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd\u03cc \u03c1\u03c5\u03b8\u03bc\u03cc \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bc\u03b9\u03b1 \u03bc\u03b1\u03b3\u03b5\u03c5\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03bb\u03ac\u03bc\u03c8\u03b7 \u201c\u03be\u03b5\u03c0\u03b5\u03c4\u03ac\u03b3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9\u201d \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03bc\u03c9\u03bd\u03b9\u03ac\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf \u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b1\u03bd\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u0398\u03b5\u03c1\u03bc\u03b1\u03ca\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd. \u039f \u03c6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd\u03cc\u03c2 \u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03bc\u03ce\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b1\u03bd\u03ae\u03ba\u03b5\u03b9, \u03b1\u03c3\u03c5\u03b6\u03b7\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03af, \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7 \u0398\u03b5\u03c3\u03c3\u03b1\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd\u03af\u03ba\u03b7.
