Zappion Gardens at Athens in Greece.

The Zappion Gardens at Athens in Greece, which are immediately south of the National Gardens, are much more formal. In fact, there is more concrete than lawn at the Zappion in Athens of Greece. There is a rather large road that passes through the heart of the gardens from Amalias Street to Koumbari Street. The good news is that the road is closed to vehicles, so the road is filled with walkers. Making the walk even more pleasant is that the road (as are all roads in the Zappion) is tree lined. There are even benches along side the trees so that one can sit and watch the world go by.

However, there’s enough in the park to see that sitting doesn’t seem like much of an option unless you are tired or not a tourist. The main site to see is the Zappion building in Athens of Greece. While it is an impressive building, we could never figure out for what it is used. Lonely Planet says that it is now used for some government offices. We did see a couple of armed guards patrolling the front steps. When Dianne tried to get a peek inside, one of the guards made it clear that she could only enter up to a point and then had to turn back.

The Zappion Gardens at Athens in Greece is a wonderful place to take a break from the urban grind that is Athens. However, the Zappeion Gardens are open 24 hours a day.
