The 15.5-hectare royal garden laid out from the 1830s behind the Parliament, running down to the Zappeion. Shaded gravel paths, ancient column fragments, a duck pond, a small botanical museum and a modest children's zoo. Free, open from sunrise to sunset, and the most reliable shade in central Athens in summer.
