The National Garden is a relaxing oasis located in the heart of Athens. This tranquil park is filled with beautiful trees, various plants, and shaded walkways. Here, you can have a picnic, explore the small zoo or botanical museum, and watch the animals as they play in the ponds. There is even a play area for children. The garden is also a popular shortcut from the Panathenaic Stadium to Syntagma Square and is included in many tours like the hop-on-hop-off bus, and bike tours. Visit in the morning or late afternoon for cooler temperatures. – Tripadvisor
