Address

Amalias Ave, behind the Greek Parliament

Cross one road from Syntagma Square and the city noise drops away. Gravel paths branch under palms and orange trees, and the pond holds ducks and turtles. There are plenty of benches to stop on. The Zappeion exit leads on toward the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
