Pedion tou Areos

The largest public park in central Athens, laid out in 1934 as a memorial to the fighters of 1821, with a long central avenue lined by busts of revolutionary leaders. It went through years of neglect and had a reputation for drug dealing and rough sleeping; a series of restorations, including Onassis Foundation-funded replanting and repaving, has improved lighting, paths and planting. Fine by day and in the early evening; quieter corners are still best avoided late at night.
