National Garden, Botanical Museum, Zappion Gardens
back to Athens activities
Summers in Athens call for major chilling out and relaxing at the city’s National Garden. Created in 1839, the garden is located beside the Parliament Building. Huge palm trees and lush vegetation make the garden a perfect oasis of calm. A duck pond, library, small zoo, and botanical museum complete the picture.
Zappion Garden (beside the National Garden) features basketball and volleyball courts. Nearby are the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and a puppet theater.
