Parko Eleftherias

Parko Eleftherias, Freedom Park, a very small green oasis in the centre of Athens

 

The scent of eucalyptus, everywhere

 

 

 

 



 

 

The Art Centre is hidden amongst all the trees

 

 

We came to see the exhibition Exploding featuring work by Aggelos Antonopoulos

The Big Sleep

Birthplace

Self-Portrait

 

 

We then went to explore the park which is tiny so it did not take long at all

 



 

 

 

as we climbed the incline the city started revealing itself

 



 

 

 

 

and this was our view when we reached the top.

 

 

 

 

 

These are the only people we saw while we were there

 



 

 

 

 

looking back and Ken's just a dot

 



 

 

 

lovely and cool

not much green in the city, so it was greatly appreciated

 

up the steps to the café/restaurant

 

 



 

 

cool, shady, intimate and just lovely. We had a great time here, drinking ouzo and eating mezze

 

 

 

We left through this green tunnel which is the other entrance to the café

 

 

 

 



 

 

looking back

 



 

 

 

 

 

 and closer

 

it was 3:00 by then and very hot and the cicadas were singing their little hearts out.
