Escape the concrete at Antonis Tritsis Metropolitan Park, a spacious green retreat in Ilion. Follow trails past lakes and olive groves, spot the animals, and pause at a cafe or the small stone church.
Full description
Antonis Tritsis Metropolitan Park, in the western Athens suburb of Ilion, is a big urban green space laid out around a series of lakes and olive groves. Trails link its open lawns, and a small stone church adds a quiet focal point.
Cafes and a beer garden mean you can settle in for a while, and visitors mention animals on site and a growing programme of seasonal events. It draws locals and families rather than tourists, and an hour covers a good loop with plenty of room to wander further.

Fantastic park and a wonderful place to spend quality time with the family! You can enjoy the fresh air, beautiful nature, animals, and peaceful surroundings while having a relaxing and meaningful experience together. A great place to escape the city and reconnect with nature. Highly recommended!
