Traveler reviews
Dimitra Kalli
★★★★★3 years agoIt's a good 20-minute uphill walk from Kifissias Street, however the grove offers some great spots to stroll around & watch the sunset.
Sofia October
★★★★★8 years agoA huge park with a huge amount and diversity of green. Has a lot of space for going into sports (and has all the necessary stuff), big and nice playground for children, garden houses that can hide you from the rain. Also, it is accessible for people with the wheelchairs. Clean, quiet and very cozy place. Recommend to visit!
