Nature in Athens

Athens offers more natural variety than many visitors expect. The Antonis Tritsis Metropolitan Park provides a significant green retreat within the urban area, while the rivers Cephissus, Ilisos, Eridanos, and Asopos trace the city's waterways. The Agios Kosmas cape and the coastal setting of Aigosthena bring the Attic shoreline and countryside within reach. The Cave of Euripides offers a quieter, more secluded corner of the landscape, and the Attica Zoological Park draws those interested in wildlife. The Heroon and the Faliro area round out the natural and open-air character of the Greek capital.
