Parks & Nature
very close to the apartment, less than 30 seconds, is a spacial place for me, some years ago, a sygnificant win of the local movement which fight for month against the dicition's authorities to construct an old outdoor parking which beloged to the state, like a park and not like an underground parking! Athens needs more green not concrete.. So its a relaxable place that you have to cross it when you go to the center! Its not something great bat i support it.
