Situated right next to (and actually forming an extension of) the National Gardens, the Zappeion Garden generously provides a serene get-away from the hustle and bustle. There are wonderfully crafted statues to be seen, while the café and restaurant are well worth a visit. These Gardens harmoniously combine the grand (imposing architecture of the Zappeion Hall) with the pristine, in its cool shady vistas and green corner get-aways.
