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.

    1. Thank you Greydog. A little green oasis in the middle of all the concrete - it was lovely.
