National Gardens
National Gardens, Athens greatest treasure, is like a tropical paradise right in the middle of the concrete jungle of Athens. You can spend hours wandering around. There is also a small zoo featuring wolves from Bulgaria, strange antelope like creatures, monkeys, peacocks, hawks, buzzards, a lion, parakeets, canaries and goats, all sharing their cages with ducks. You can walk along the paths admiring the exotic fauna and the ducks. There is even a small, inviting cafe near the Irodou Atikou street called O Kypos where you can get a nice frappe, an ouzo and mezedes, and enjoy the afternoon while you feed your leftovers to the ducks who come to your table begging for food. There is also a playground for kids.
