From where should I begin from? The fitness equipment that is broken for MONTHS and nobody did anything ever about em? Or the lake which is filled with trash and rot which ducks and gooses HAVE TO eat?? The condition is quite terrible... It's a big park, yes. It has many trees, yes. But that doesn't mean that you should dump it like that, with many iron things and broken stuff around. I've seen a kid hit right in fron of me cause of those.

Ideal for picnic, pictures and worth visiting. There are coffee shops you can sit for a drink and some good food (you must try the baby potatoes from "ΥΠΟΓΛΥΚΑΙΜΙΕΣ CAFE"). When I visited there was a running event going on. An ideal destination for everybody. Definitely going to...
