Syggrou park is located between the municipalities of Kifisia and Marousi and covers an area of 950 acres. The park used to be the private garden of the Syggrou family estate and it now belongs to the Institute of Agricultural Studies.
Pines are dominant in the park, but you will also see firs, oak trees, almond trees, cypresses, olives and cultivated plants. Through all these are many paths for walking and biking. The park is huge and it is easy to get lost if you leave the paths through the forest. There are open areas too with picnic benches, space for kite flying and relaxing family games. Finally, there is an amphitheatre, a football field, basketball field and a volleyball court.
Do not forget to visit the chapel of St. Andrew next to the Syggrou family mansion. It is the only orthodox Gothic style chapel in Greece. Here you will also find art works and a pond with goldfish.
