Park near Ilion, 1 of 6: Antonis Tritsis Metropolitan Park



One of the last wildlife refuges in the Athens basin, this park centers on six man-made lakes linked by an artificial canal, a stopover for water birds that lost their wetlands elsewhere.
The Hellenic Ornithological Society has recorded 175 bird species here and runs environmental programs on site. The rest is varied planting with space for long walks and bike rides.
