What to do and see in Pedion Areos, Attica: The Best Things to do
Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

About a km from Omonia is this grand green space. Planned in the early 1930s in remembrance of the heroes of the struggle for independence from the Ottomans, many of whom are finely honoured in marble in the park. At the main entrance is a monumental equestrian sculpture of King Constantine I. Not far away is a tremendous statue of Athena atop a lengthy pedestal with a lion standing sentinel. Lovely tranquil pathways are laid out. While strolling along we happened across the pleasing the Church of the Archangels, with nearby a stately sculpture of a reclining figure.
