Chris Pan ✏️August 4, 2015The 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.
Visit GreeceJanuary 30, 2014As 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.

Well suited for family walks or romantic couple promenades. Children will love feeding the lake ducks!Upvoted 1 week ago
Esteban TorresJune 16, 2018Beautiful park, huge and lots of paths to get lost. There's a big and pretty playground for the kids on one side of the park
OnFeature TeamNovember 28, 2016It is a tropical paradise right in the middle of the concrete jungle of Athens full of vegetation, rare kinds of plants, saplings and birds.
MuratApril 18, 2016Nice location, in the heart of city. Walking distance from major squares. So quite and very peaceful. One of the perfect places to hang out in the city on a lazy sunny afternoon.
Cenker KöseNovember 28, 2015Peaceful place. "It is the quintessence of a park, the thing one feels sometimes in looking at a canvas or dreaming of a place one would like to be in and never finds." (Henry Miller, 1939)
Alexandros PlexidasNovember 12, 2021One of the few places in the city center where you can calmly stroll or read a book. For families: the best playground is located outside the garden, next to “Aigli” in Zappeion.
Nina KOctober 1, 2015Its always worth a visit. Breath of fresh air in the centre of Athens. Don't forget to look at the different plant species and the animals that are left.- Visit GreeceMarch 19, 2012An oasis in the centre of the city with more than 500 different species of plants, trees, birds and animals. Enjoy your walk!
Μαρία Ελένη ΚρυονοπούλουJanuary 10, 2016Great for a change of scenery! So much green and life inside this park. Very romantic.- Great for a stroll with kids, jogging, picnic, long walks or just relaxing with a book or iphone.. ;-) love the small zoo there, turtle pond and playground :-)
Stephanie HallardSeptember 20, 2016Breath taking peace in the middle of the city. Amazing flora and fauna, i saw turtles. Even the wasps are beautiful. Wonder around for a few hours, your calm will return instantly
Anna PapanagiotouJune 14, 2016Take a break and enjoy the fresh air that park provides. In the city center with a small zoo inside. Go for a walk take your book or your loved one with
A great place in the city to run, walk, read a book, relax above all, even in the hottest day! Nature simply recharges u!
Andreas AdamOctober 22, 2014A real oasis in the crowded centre. Ideal jogging or simply a walk to relax. A true paradise to be!
Faraneh NOctober 12, 2017Gorgeous entrance with the palm trees. You can walk in the park and be relaxed. Good for taking ur dog for a walk or reading a book
Always cooler than the rest of Athens. You can always find a place without sun to chill. Perfect for a walk or a short run
Chris KuzanJune 4, 2023This place is incredible. So many beautiful plants. And I would say it’s more like a park than a garden
Come here and just read a book or browse the web on your iPhone under the trees. It's pure bliss and it will cost you next to nothing :)
All time favourite BookCrossing spot. Check the fire hose cabinets! Maybe you will find a travelling book!
Voula MourdoukoutaOctober 16, 2017Beautiful and clean garden, is suitable for attraction at the center of Athens. Should be better...
EvaApril 24, 2022Absolutely fantastic. Smell of Neroli with the olive trees, saw parrots and a turtoise. <3
Julia OulikNovember 23, 2021Amazing air, lots of places to walk and sit beneath the trees, a great place to relax
Eirini MarioliSeptember 8, 2015A great getaway place in the middle of Athens. Perfect for picnics, jogging and biking. Amazing
KEYTOURS | Your Key to unravel the fascination of GreeceJanuary 7, 2013Feel like an Athenian by taking a stroll at the National Garden. Relax and enjoy a coffee there!
Amaury JJune 26, 2017So nice to get away from the craziness that is Athens sometimes. Great for walking and just to stroll around.
ElifJuly 10, 2017Worths a visit, very close to Syntagma. Could be nice for a picnic w a nice Greek wine.
Stacy Bo BacyAugust 15, 2019I’d never seen turtles swimming before. What a treat! Lovely park to walk through.
Leia SopataAugust 3, 2018Goats are sweet, but some man was taunting them, and the turtles are overcrowded and need fresh water. Looks a bit abandoned.
Sissi Filippidou ✩July 10, 2014A small gem in the heart of the city! Perfect for hot summer getaway!
Eva Kristin SethMarch 26, 2017Lovely green spot to relax in when you need a break from the noisy big city.
Anna FoltmanAugust 17, 2016not 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
Dan MillardOctober 18, 2016Lovely place for a walk, but the birds and animals are quite disappointing.
Tash ConcepcionJuly 18, 2015Grab some ice cream/gelato at La Greche and have a nice stroll through this beautiful park!
Rafał NowosielskiJuly 19, 2015One of the few places where you can really go jogging in Athens downtown
