One of the largest public parks in Athens; re-opened in 2010 after a €10m refurbishment. It attracts a – shall we say – slightly different social class than the National Gardens. That’s a shame, because the park itself isn’t bad.

The statue of Konstantine I, King of the Hellenes, stands at the entrance.

Above: The main path through the park. Even during the day, there are drug addicts, drug dealers and homeless people hiding amongst the trees off some of the other paths. This is one of the districts on my list of places to avoid after dark!
