Parks & Nature

Athens’ National Gardens, also called Royal Gardens, are the largest breath of fresh air in the city center. Located right behind the Greek Parliament, the Gardens extend all the way to Zappeion, the first building to be erected specifically for the revival of the Olympic Games in the modern world. Just a short walk away is the Panathenaic or Kallimarmaro Stadium, where the 1869 Olympics took place.

Situated in the southern suburbs of Athens, Lake Vouliagmeni is a great place to cool off and decompress. The name means “sunken lake,” and indeed, the lake is more reminiscent of a lagoon, surrounded by breathtaking cliffs and sparkling turquoise waters. The water is warm all year round and rich in minerals, which is why the lake has operated as a natural spa for the past two centuries.

Leather sandals are all over Athens, but Melissinos is the real sandal-making superstar. The late Stavros Melissinos had crafted sandals for the likes of Sophia Loren, the Beatles, Jackie O, and Queen, and the shop is still run by his son, Pantelis. The Melissinos family is also known for being a family of poets, hence the name of the store.

The largest fish, meat and produce market in Athens. Meander along the stalls for as long as you can take the smell of some (very) fresh fish, for a unique cultural and culinary experience. Varvakeios is a good place to buy souvenirs for your foodie friends, or even for you to bring a taste of Greece with you back home. We recommend vacuum-sealed Kalamata olives which are easy to transport, taking up little space and being spill-free.

Nestled into the historical neighborhood of Plaka, Anafiotika is easy to miss, but arguably the most photogenic part of Athens. The buildings here are crafted in the traditional Cycladic style, as they were originally the homes of workers who had come to Athens from the island of Anafi to assist in the construction of King Othon's Palace. Anafiotika is beautifully reminiscent of the Greek islands, and a wonderful place to sit for a coffee or drink.

Tucked away in the shadow of the Acropolis, Plaka is one of Athens' most picturesque areas. Although it is a commercial center, replete with jewelry stores, souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants, it retains a nostalgic feel. Most of the streets are pedestrian walkways, but take care of the occasional moped!

Tucked away in the shadow of the Acropolis, Plaka is one of Athens' most picturesque areas. Although it is a commercial center, replete with jewelry stores, souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants, it retains a nostalgic feel. Most of the streets are pedestrian walkways, but take care of the occasional moped!
Best known for its flea market, Monastiraki is the place to go for the quintessential Athens experience, from dining, to drinking and shopping, this is where locals and tourists do it all! Shop for antiques, leather goods and craft materials, then grab a coffee or drink at Loukoumi Bar's rooftop with a phenomenal view of the Acropolis.
