★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A stroll around the cemetery is a true memoire to the important Greek figures that shaped Greek history, politics, and culture. The most beautiful cemetery in Athens where you will walk by the graves of Archbishops, Presidents, Ministers, important people of the art, theatre, and cinema. It is worth a visit!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very ornate cemetery with tombs and tombstones ranging in size from large to small. The cemetery seems to go on for kilometers with many different walk ways, easy to get lost in there but also easy to find your way out.
There is only one enterance and exit for this place.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ How is this not on the Must-See list if Athens? The monuments are simply fantastic. No rush and bustle here. You can take in the beauty to the sound of wind through trees and birds singing

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a must see but I recommend you stick to the area with the beautiful sculptures and monuments only. Once you go past it, the cemetery becomes a "regular" one with newer graves, with colour pictures of the deceased and not so clean of a place and this ruins the experience. So go see the sculptures and monuments but nothing more, it's better this way.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Leave the madness of the 8 lane highway outside the gate and step into an oasis of calm and peace. The traffic is still audible in the background but once inside you are lost in a vast marble sculpture park of funerary monuments with cypress trees towering overhead providing welcome shade.
It is always sobering to walk in these places but here it is genuinely uplifting to see the wonderful architecture of all types that has been erected to venerate long gone ancestors. From the enormous entrance canopy, past the pastel-coloured chapel, along the orange-tree lined concourse surrounded by the most extravagant monuments, and into the long avenues of more simple graves, this place rivals the Acropolis as the most astonishing attraction of Athens. A delightful and refreshing way to spend a couple of hours of your holiday.
