About this audio guide
This guide to the Forest-Botanical Garden of Aristotle University in Thessaloniki's Kalamaria district asks why a quiet patch of trees in a busy suburb is not really a park. It goes back to nineteen sixty-four and Professor Ioannis Papaioannou, to the cypresses planted first, and to the forestry school that has spent decades planting the hills above the city. Best heard standing among the tall cypresses.
