Take a break from the heat and the crowds of the city at National Garden. Created by Queen Amalia in 1839, these gardens once belonged to the royal palace. Now, the 15.4 hectare (38 acre) property is open to the public throughout the day. Walk among the multitude of trees, flowers, and other greenery, or sit on one of the many benches to picnic and watch the ducks in the pond. Stop into the on-site mini zoo to view turtles, birds, goats, and some other animals. Using our international travel planner, Athens attractions like National Garden can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

This garden is a green lung and a haven of freshness in the center of Athens. The walk is particularly enjoyable at any age. You can see turtles, birds and, of course, very many plant species.View original -

July 29, 2017It was pretty and clean but nothing amazing.. some caged animals and a little crowded. Nice to have in the middle of a city. Maybe a place to go have your lunch or something. Would have liked a nice open area with some comfortable grass to relax. Not something to worry about if you miss.

July 25, 2017Visited the park was in there for ten minutes sitting on a bench with my sister a man was hiding in the bushes staring at us. We walked away and he followed us showing his dick I pulled my phone out to record him and he disappeared back in the bushes he was very confident in his perversion so I'm guessing it is very common women please be careful visiting this garden by yourself or with other women. I haven't even experienced any thing like this in the UK and I'm mortified Men were also hollering at us there smoking weed my worst experience ever Please be safe!

June 13, 2017Lovely garden to walk around. Many attractions lie around it so it is a great way to walk across the garden to visit them. The garden itself has a charming pond with ducks and turtles. Kids loved it. Highly recommended for a relaxing few hours.
