Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Surrounded by so much history and spectacular archeological monuments, the Athens National Garden is a peaceful oasis welcomed by the locals and tourists as a spot to rest on a hot summer day.

The garden’s main entrance is located only a few meters from Syntagma Square and the Hellenic Parliament. It covers over 15 acres of lush Mediterranean vegetation and was originally developed as a private royal garden in 1849 as per the instructions of Queen Amalia. The queen ordered the cultivation of 15,000 plants from all over the world, and many are still thriving. The garden is a magical place to explore, with massive fan palms, pergolas leading to the Zappion, hidden labyrinths, and romantic corners.
