National Garden

The only great #green #park at the center of Athens! Come and lose yourself into a labyrinth of plants and paths that will lead your way to the Kallimarmaro #stadium , or the Vouli, the Parliament.

As you stroll through the richly planted grounds you will come across six pools,a fascinating sundial and the first greenhouse ever constructed in Greece,built under the watchful eye of Queen Amalia. Read more

amazing garden , perfect for a walk to see the animals.

Lovely place for a walk, but the birds and animals are quite disappointing.

not for animal lovers - a sad display of animals who havent seen any grass for their whole life in cages with nothing but dirt and old water, slowly dying of heat totally unnatural for their species

A relaxing experience of quality in the heart of the city !! ????

Nothing beats lying in a shady spot for some down time. This garden provides it in abundance. Enjoy :-)

It’s like a jungle in the middle of the city , lovely place.
