There are plenty of places to sit down for a perfect picnic hidden from sometimes chaotic traffic from the downtown of Athens. The temperature inside the park in the summertime can be almost five degrees less than city around it making it a leafy oasis of Athens.

When the night falls it is still pretty safe to take a stroll in the park. It is very well lit and under a close surveillance of security guards.
