Antonis Tritsis Wetlands Area – Secret Athens Paradise

Antonis Tritsis Wetlands Area, imagine that, a bird sanctuary and wetlands park in the western suburbs of Athens. This sprawling protected land that once was a weekend escape of the Queen has several lakes, great birdwatching and the former royal properties have been turned into a community art gallery, cafe and an organic market.

 
The park has playgrounds for the kids and walking, jogging and biking paths for everyone to enjoy. There is even a reptile house for those interested in snakes (this has a fee, the rest of the area is open to the public and is free.)
