It's a perfect getaway from the busy town. It's really to have such a place so close, especially for young to connect with nature. We walked all the way up the hill. We really enjoyed our time here! Excellent. Alone, with family with friends. Thank you for this Athens Gem! It’s free on weekdays, you just need to go to the site and reserve your time slot, especially in weekends. Then you show the email and you are in. At the left is the part with flowers buzzing with colors! At the right there are rare forest trees. Pets are not allowed for obvious reasons. Right, before the entrance there is the canteen and wc. At summer get early and check the site for last minute closures due to heatwaves. A truly wonderful place! Very well kept, safe and peaceful. Highly recommend you take your own drinks etc, there’s a cafe besides the garden, but not accessible from within. Book online before you go - they allow 300 people at a time. Όμορφο μέρος Huge fenced in park. Part of it has species of from all over the world, labeled in Greek and Latin. Part of it is natural forest. There is a wildlife conservation area, play areas for kids, and a memorial monument. We had a long, delightful in the shady forest listening to cicadas and birds. Close to the entry there is noise from the road. There is a large café with a playground. Many of the playground features are constructed by the staff from wood culled from the park. The café has food and drinks. Accessible by transit (we took the metro and a bus), an e-ticket is required for entry and it is free. This is a garden! The flower area is especially lovely, the useful herbs, bamboo, fruit trees, pines, cypress, etc. are all marvelous. The variety of and is enormous, from every part of the world, and all are labeled with the scientific name in Latin and Greek, as well as the Greek common name. place outside the center of Athens full of trees, shade, well taken care of with a descend Cafe inside. No bikes or dogs allowed for legit reasons that have to do with the natural preservation of the ecosystem. There are also certain places where picnics are allowed. Great for family visits. Αν δεν έχεις ξανά πάει είναι εύκολο να χαθείς ειδικά αν παρειςτο δρόμιο προς τα δεξιά μπαίνοντας. Δεν υπάρχουν ταμπέλες που να καθοδηγούν τον κόσμο μπαίνοντας . Ο άνθρωπος στην είσοδο του κήπου ήταν αρκετά αγενείς με τον κόσμο απαράδεκτη συμπεριφορά. Ένας χάρτης θα ήταν πολύ κατατοπιστικός θα ήταν απαραίτητος μπαίνοντας να δίνετε στους επισκέπτες για να αποφεύγετε η ταλαιπωρία. Ενας πραγματικός θησαυρός μέσα στην Αττική! Ο Βοτανικός Κήπος Διομήδους είναι μια όαση ηρεμίας και φύσης, ιδανική για περίπατο, χαλάρωση ή και εκπαιδευτική επίσκεψη. Η ποικιλία των φυτών είναι εντυπωσιακή, με ειδικές ενότητες για μεσογειακά, φαρμακευτικά και τροπικά φυτά, όλα εξαιρετικά φροντισμένα. Οι διαδρομές είναι ευχάριστες και προσβάσιμες, ενώ υπάρχουν και σημεία για πικνίκ κάτω από τα δέντρα. Το προσωπικό είναι ευγενικό και διαθέσιμο για πληροφορίες, κάτι που δίνει έξτρα πόντους στην εμπειρία. Τέλος, εντός χώρου υπάρχει καφέ. Πολυ ωραίο μέρος και για βόλτα με παιδιά και για απλό περπάτημα My husband and I try to at least once each season to see the landscape as it changes.. You can take a great walk/hike here with views over Athens from the top of the hill. There are so many species of plants, flowers and to admire and wildlife too. Really a superb venue to feel nature all around and a break from the concrete of Athens 👌😊 Ο υπάλληλος της εισόδου, αναγωγος και αγενής!! Όταν θα μπω θα επανέλθω με νέα κρητική Υπεροχος κηπος ! Congrats. An amazing environment with the best natural prospective. Everyone must it and learn about those unique plants! Also, be part of it , by volunteering your time and discover the new programs of the botanical garden! Thanks to Nick Voutsinas for his professional guidance to the park! Υπεροχο μέρος για παιδιά και για μεγάλους. A place for a peaceful walk! The entrance is free and you need to acquire an online ticket for acces! The guy working at the gate was kind and with a good attitude. The left side of the botanical was more interesting in terms of diversity, how exotic the were and how they were organized. While the right side felt more like a chill hike in the woods. Wasn't impressed by how the whole was managed. It didnt have many greenhouses and the few ones we saw were not even accessible. The cleanliness and clarity of the ponds in the asian side was poor. However it is a great place to hang out with friends, for a cute date, a walk, a bit of jogging or even bring and explore with them the wonders of nature. There is a hike trail of around 2km, a cafeteria and a for kids. And a few lovely cats that are super friendly! They follow you everywhere if you are kind and loving with them. We walked for a bit over than 2h without going on the long hiking trail at a slow pace and we still didnt get to on all of the paths. So I really recommend the place if you want to immerse yourself for a few hours in a corner of nature! :) Perhaps the best botanical of Athens. A wide variety of trees, bushes, cactii and flowers at the outskirts of town, near the byzantine monastery of Dafni. The area and walking paths are well preserved and the overall natural ambience is something that Athens is really missing. A must visit! Ps. No dogs allowed and a cafe at the entrance.. Cool with vast space A great place!! Huge park, all green with and flowers! A hidden gem to and take long walks or for jogging. Excellent place for picnic too. Great way to combine a in nature with some botanical knowledge It has also a coffee shop where you can have a coffee- refreshment! is fine and the staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help us with the very faulty website you have to use to buy the 2 euro ticket. We ended up not receiving the email with the tickets until 2 hours after we left the and ended up paying three times. Get your ticket before you go. One of Athens hidden secrets. This is a vibrant, peaceful escape. The collection of is stunning, and the different plant zones make for an interesting and educational visit. Highly recommend visiting for instant tranquility! I recommend visiting the botanical when it is not too hot. It is very large with many species of and many trees. Bring water and a sun hat. It is and welcoming. It's mandatory to book tickets via their site. Το εισιτήριο είναι συμβολικό και θεμιτό. Αλλά δωστε την δυνατότητα σε ανθρώπους που δεν είναι εξοικειωμένοι με ΤΠΕ να μπορούν να απολαύσουν τον κήπο. Είναι απαράδεκτο να προσπαθούν ηλικιωμένοι η άνθρωποι χωρίς γνώσεις να βγαλουν εισιτήριο μονο μεσω της εφαρμογής. Βάλτε ένα ταμείο στην είσοδο Fabolous one of 10 best gardens of Europe!! I can give this 200% it is worth visiting , very impressive!!! I would this again and again!!! place Kefsili Some times I'm going with friend weekend and public holidays A beautiful, peaceful in Athens for everyone to and take a stroll, read a book or just enjoy the variety of local and international and trees. An e-ticket (no charge) is required and no pets are allowed. There's a small cafe with swings at the entrance. I fully recommend a there. Με εισιτήριο, μικρό αντίτιμο, πλέον ενώ περιμετρικά του βουνού υπάρχουν 1002 μέρη για να μπεις χωρίς αν θες... Large, and well-kept park. The perfect getaway for young and adult. A brilliant and peaceful place to visit. The minute you in, you forget that you're actually in the city. Walking around is probably one of the best choices you can make for a day that will make you feel really good. A cafe with coffee and snacks just next to the entrance is the option to get back some of the energy spent to see all the beauty. 5 stars is not good enough!! You'll love this place!!! Υπέροχη φύση, αρκετά προσεγμένη και χωρίς αλόγιστη παρέμβαση. Η θέα από την κορυφή αξίζει την αναβαση. Μας έλειψε η σήμανση σε αρκετά σημεία ή σήμανση με περισσότερη σαφήνεια για αρχάριους σε πεζοπορία. Το καφέ πολύ όμορφο, χρειάζεται χαμογελαστό σέρβις και μάλλον άτομα. Συνολικά αξίζει τον κόπο και με το παραπάνω! Excellent family and scientist venue. Plenty of room for to enjoy, plenty of spots to rest, take photos, enjoy nature. Clean, well kept paths, helpful personnel, cafe/restaurant with playground, toilets, area maps installations, picnic tables and benches. Couldn't be happier. Do not forget to book a ticket in advance (free during weekdays but online booking required). Parking spots right across the entrance (on the road) but you do not have to worry where to park. A bit far out from central Athens but well worth the journey! Lovely and peaceful gardens to wander around, lots of shady areas with tree coverage and many tortoises 🐢 There are picnic benches if you want to bring a picnic. We didn't use it but there's also a cafe with a large seating area. You need to reserve a free ticket online before entering. Δεν ξέρω αν πρέπει να μοιραστώ την εμπειρία του γιου μου για αυτή την εκδρομή με το σχολείο του γιατί σίγουρα δεν ήταν καλη... θα μείνω μόνο σε έναν σχολιασμό τα παιδιά από τους ξεναγούς θα πρέπει να φεύγουν με τις καλύτερες εικόνες του χώρου και όχι με τις κάκιστες συμπεριφορές τον ξεναγών του χώρου που μάλλον κάνουν λάθος επάγγελμα. Μοναδικός κήπος, πραγματικό στολίδι και όαση οξυγόνου για την ευρύτερη περιοχή. Είναι πραγματικά τυχεροί όσοι μένουν κοντά αλλά και όσοι μπορούν να τον επισκεφτούν. Πολύ μεγάλη έκταση για περπάτημα, περιλαμβάνει τον ανθώνα, τεχνητές λίμνες, μοναδικά φυτά από την Ελλάδα και όλο τον κόσμο, παιδική χαρά και καφετέρια. Απαιτείται η έκδοση ηλεκτρονικού εισιτηρίου μηδενικής αξίας πριν την επίσκεψη. Πάρκο τόσο όμορφο που πραγματικά πιστεύει κάποιος πως είναι μαγική πύλη για ένα δροσερό δάσος στο βουνό. Ιδανικό για τρέξιμο, πεζοπορία ή απλά για να ξέσκασμα από την καθημερινότητα και την ρυπώδης αστική ζωή. Υπάρχει επίσης ένα καφενείο στην είσοδο για να γεμίσει το άδειο στομάχι και να απασχολήσει τα παιδιά που προτιμούν την καθηστική ζωή ή άλλου είδους άσκησεις, αν και είναι ακριβά εκεί. Το εισητήριο είναι σχετικά φθηνό.
