Traveler reviews

★★★★★2 months agoWhether you like plants, gardens, water features, wildlife etc, this is a beautiful and chilled part of the city. Really suited to the whole family, or even just yourself! It's a very special place to relax and enjoy. Seats in the shade by the ponds, wisteria pergolas, animals, and a nice cafe; it's all here. Get away from the hustle and bustle before you return to it! It's free to enter, and probably the best value you'll get in Athens 😎

★★★★★3 months agoThe perfect place to escape the noise! If you want to run away from the crowded city and the loud noise, this is the best place to go. It is a very peaceful and beautiful park where you can just sit and have some relaxation. The best part is that it is completely free and you don't need a ticket to enter. It feels like a quiet escape right in the middle of everything. I really enjoyed the calm atmosphere here. If you are in Ottawa and need a break from the busy streets, I highly recommend visiting this park!
