UNIQUE

EXPERIENCES in NEA SMIRNI

Midway between central Athens and the coast is the lush family-friendly neighbourhood of Nea Smirni (tram from Syntagma to Aghia Fotinis, or an easy 25-minute walk). Its many squares are host to an interesting history: the neighbourhood gained its name from the former Greek city of Smyrna, now Izmir, from where refugees settled the area in the 1920s. Car-free Nea Smyrni Square is at the neighbourhood’s heart and is spectacular, with fountains, shops, restaurants, trendy cafes and bars to suit all ages, trends and budgets. With a plethora of outdoor entertainment during the summer, it’s a real find not on the typical tourist route. Venture beyond the square and you’ll find Nea Smirni Alsos park, a large green oasis with Aleppo pines, cypress and stone pines and good for strolling. It also has a jogging track, an outdoor gym and a cafe.
