What makes it 66% Baby-Friendly: Parents with babies can use stroller-friendly routes and shaded benches, but lack of changing tables, no nursing room and muddy paths after rain make care tasks harder.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time for a full stroller-friendly walk, breaks at benches, and a café visit without rushing
Scenic stroller-friendly walk:
Follow wide, paved main paths through the rose beds and bamboo grove
Tip: Keep stroller on level routes and avoid narrow side trails
Relax at shady benches:
Use benches under tall trees for feeding or letting the baby nap
Tip: Look for benches near the lily pond for quieter spots
Explore rose garden and lily ponds:
Visit the themed rose beds with 100+ varieties and stepping-stone koi ponds
Tip: Pause on the stepping stones for quick baby-friendly photos
Cafe break:
Enjoy coffee, pastries or ice cream at the café by the main entrance
Tip: Ask for take-out cups and sit at nearby picnic tables

One of Athens hidden secrets. This garden is a vibrant, peaceful escape. The collection of plants is stunning, and the different plant zones make for an interesting and educational visit. Highly recommend visiting for instant tranquility!

Huge fenced in park. Part of it has species of plants from all over the world, labeled in Greek and Latin. Part of it is natural forest. There is a wildlife conservation area, play areas for kids, and a memorial monument. We had a long, delightful walk in the shady forest listening to cicadas and birds. Close to the entry there is noise from the road. There is a large café with a nice playground...

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.
In summer, arrive early to avoid midday heat. After rain, paths can get muddy—wear waterproof shoes.
