Diomidous Botanical Garden

A nice 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 garden was more interesting in terms of diversity, how exotic the plants 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 garden 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 kids and explore with them the wonders of nature. There is a hike trail of around 2km, a cafeteria and a nice park 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 walk 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! :)

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.

This is a beautiful garden! The flower garden area is especially lovely, the useful herbs, bamboo, fruit trees, pines, cypress, etc. are all marvelous. The variety of plants and trees 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.

I recommend visiting the botanical garden when it is not too hot. It is very large with many species of plants and many trees. Bring water and a sun hat. It is beautiful and welcoming.

A brilliant and peaceful place to visit. The minute you walk 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 beautiful cafe with nice 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!!!

My husband and I try to visit at least once each season to see the landscape as it changes.. You can take a great walk/hike here with beautiful views over Athens from the top of the hill. There are so many species of plants, flowers and trees to admire and wildlife too. Really a superb venue to feel nature all around and a nice break from the concrete of Athens 👌😊

If you want to break away from the hussle and bussel in the Athens city, the lovely botanical gardens allow just that! A large open space where you can enjoy nature and fresh air. Lots of runners there too so good if you want to get a lot of steps in!

Unfortunately didn’t have the pleasure to experience. The staff members as he had a uniform on was adamant we could not enter without an Eticket. I couldn’t read the scan code on Greek or even see where to change to English as I didn’t have my glasses. The staff member was annoyed we interrupted him Twice with his personal call on mobile. When I was frustrated and asked is there an English version to squint and try to see he replied but you speak Greek yes I do but I don’t read Greek that well and without glasses on my screen I’m blind as a bat again no attempt to just say just go through 😣😖😤
