Green Spaces
The Ethnikós Kipos (National Gardens) are a welcome green haven in the centre of the city. The gardens have peacocks and a small botanical museum. Another calm spot is the Kerameikós Cemetery, named after the patron saint of potters and ceramics and dating from the 12th century BC. Tombstones range from the grand to the poignantly simple. There is also a small museum on site, which houses the originals of some of the more valuable tombstones that have been replaced with replicas in the actual cemetery.
