A verdant 38-acre public haven in the heart of Athens, commissioned in 1838 by Queen Amalia directly behind the royal palace (now the Greek Parliament). Shaded walkways sheltered by towering Washingtonia palms and eucalyptus offer respite from summer heat, leading to duck and turtle ponds, Corinthian marble ruins, fragments of ancient Roman mosaic pavements, and a quiet botanical pavilion.
Highlights
- Towering Washingtonia palm avenue behind Parliament
- Turtle ponds and scattered ancient Corinthian capitals
- Cool green retreat just footsteps from Syntagma Square
