The Royal Garden is a park founded by the first queen of independent Greece, Amalia of Oldenburg, wife of King Otto, on an area of 15.5 hectares in the heart of Athens. It is located in close proximity to the Greek Parliament.
The creation of the Royal Garden lasted from 1838 to 1840 under the direction of the German gardener Schmidt. To implement all the plans, more than 500 species of plants and various animals and birds were imported.
The park is built as a sequence of compositions on certain themes, so in addition to exotic plants, it surprises with ancient ruins and mosaics. There is also a small zoo and several ponds with huge goldfish.
There are picnic tables, large children's playground.
You will get photos with amazing plants, picturesque alleys, vines in bloom and ancient excavations!
