Full description

Syggrou Forest is a rugged green park in the northern suburb of Marousi, occupying the former estate of a 19th-century industrialist. Its network of paved and unpaved trails includes longer loops of up to about three kilometres, making it popular with runners, dog walkers and cyclists.

Two lakes and a basketball court add variety, and the open spaces suit picnics and casual sport. Reviewers describe it as a calm, fresh-smelling retreat in the suburbs, best on cool mornings.

It is open from early morning to late evening and a visit typically takes about an hour.

Good to know

  • Choose a morning or late-afternoon visit for cooler air and quieter trails
  • wear shoes suited to unpaved paths, as parts of the forest are rough
  • bring food and water for a picnic, since the park is designed for lingering
