Athens: Zappeion

I have visited Athens twice so far – in November 2008 and in February 2017. And will gladly return anytime. The city centre is a gigantic historical open-air museum with some monuments dating back more than 2500 years. The food is delicious, people are nice and friendly, the sun is shining most of the time and there is always something new to discover.

Zappeion is a palace built in 1870 housing a conference centre in Athens, located near the Olympic Panathenaic stadium, Hadrian’s arch, Temple of Olympian Zeus and National Gardens.

 

Palác Zappeion bol postavený v roku 1870 a dnes je to konferenčné centrum. Nachádza sa hneď oproti chrámu boha Dia a pred ním je krásny parčík s fontánou. Za palácom sa nachádza botanická záhrada, ktorá siaha až po námestie Syntagma a budovu parlamentu.
