The most amazing place with dazzling views of the city. Don't miss this stop in Athens. Love the beautiful architecture and library, fascinating exhibits, gorgeous garden, and stunning performances in the piano room. The music, fountain, and light show is a real treat. It's a delight to spend time there.

A great addition to the Athens cultural scene - and the coastline too. Marvelous park, stunning architecture. The National Library space is very welcoming, with plenty of natural light, and it was so wonderful to see it very busy. The 'living room' upstairs offers a great relaxing space with a variety of interesting books and amazing views of the city and the sea. Absolutely worth a visit!
