The Garden
Originally designed by Safiye Imre and lovingly developed since by her daughter
Dr. Guelcin Imre Hoppe, a lifetime member of the British Royal Horticultural
Society, the garden is the centerpiece of the Karia Princess.
With its majestic Phoenix Palms, Bananas, Giant Bird-of-Paradise, purple, orange,
pink and white Bougainvillea, signal red Hibiscus, sky blue Plumbago, red, pink,
white and yellow Oleander, Orange, Tangerine and Lemon trees, and hundreds of other
exotic, tropical and subtropical plants and flowers collected from across the globe,
with the air perfumed after sundown with the fragrances of White Jasmine and Night-Blooming
Jessamine, the hotel garden is truly a horticultural masterpiece, an oasis of
tranquility evoking dreams of paradise, ever-changing and continuing
to surprise throughout the year, yet always lush, colorful and exuding a sense of
plenty and abundance.
