Athens is full of options for families looking for fun and creative activities for their children, even in the city center. Start your day at the National Garden, a green oasis near Plaka. Here, children can run freely, see animals in the small zoo, play in the playground, or explore the paths leading to ponds with ducks. It’s a safe and relaxing spot for families, combining nature with entertainment.

If your children love adventure, Filopappou Hill, located very close to the city center and our accommodation in Monastiraki, is ideal for short hikes. The trails and natural paths provide a sense of exploration, while the view from the hilltop is stunning. It’s a place where nature meets history, creating a unique experience for kids and adults alike.

For something more organized, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center is an excellent choice. Children can play in the impressive playground, take part in activities such as cycling or rowing on the lake, and enjoy the lush gardens. The space is family-friendly and safe, while parents can relax and soak in the unique atmosphere.

With so many options near Plaka and Monastiraki, Athens proves to be a city full of possibilities for unforgettable family moments. From parks and hills to organized recreational spaces, the city caters to every need and wish for both young and old!
