Wonderful public park in the heart of Athens, perfect for families and couples. We visited in the summer, and enjoyed the variety of plants, trees and animals. The pond with the wooden bridge was especially beautiful.
There are many entrances and exits, as well as many maps showing you where you currently stand in the park near the exits. We spent about 2 hours strolling through the park.

Absolutely loved this place! I don't know why people don't mention it in travel blogs about Athens. At least I didn't see anyone mentioning it in top places to visit in Athens. Luckily we bumped into it by accident.
We liked it so much! It has so much different trees and other plants.
There was kind of a pond with big, colourful fish - i assume it was Koi(Coy) fish. 2 more ponds or so with TURTLES!!😍😍😍 ducks were seen too.
Huge plus is that you can also find plenty of shadow in here🤣 which gives you a chance of sitting down and relaxing on a well available benches.
The garden is so big, that you can easily walk around for more than an hour.
The only downside was the toilet - wasn't taken care of properly. At least the one i went to in case there's more.
And for those who travel with dogs - unfortunately you cannot take them in with you.
Shame I didn't take more beautiful photoes🤷♀️

Wonderful park, where you can wander around for hours. It's very clean and there's a nice atmosphere. Lot's of things to see like the ducks, the fountain, the turtles and the playground. There's beautiful foliage and statues.
Amazing gardens with many animals in it. I fed the fish before seeing the sign don’t feed the animals right next to the turtles. It was only pita bread with nothing on it. Anyway is the party is amazing and you should visited. It is beautiful
I love this playground!! The vibe is so relaxing, I felt in the middle of the forest (if you come early the morning it is so peaceful), you have a lot of picnic areas, fountains to drink from, I incredible slides, some sand and water games! For all ages :) Missing just 1 coffee place and I could stay there the whole day!! Hopefully people will refrein from letting their dogs poops all over the place for once...
It had beautiful scenery but no information provided about the area and its history since there were so many old trees. There are some governmental places over there that seems they are open to public, but they are not.
It is a recommended place to spend some time in with your family, as a break during your visit of Athens, as it's close to old monuments.

Great place for kids. Even around 2pm, there was plenty of shade. I am not sure if you can drink the water from the tap but at least it was working and I could use it to cool my head down. Definitely you need to check out the whisper dishes.
