EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the serene beauty of Athens' National Garden (Ethnikos Kipos), a verdant oasis in the heart of the bustling Greek capital. Established in 1839 as a private royal garden for King Otto and Queen Amalia, the garden was opened to the public in 1923, becoming a cherished urban retreat for locals and tourists alike. The image showcases the garden's timeless allure, with its lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and tranquil fountains. At the center, a majestic statue of a woman gracefully adorns the landscape, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. The statue, a 19th-century work of art, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Athens and Greece. The National Garden is a living testament to the city's urbanism and commitment to preserving its natural beauty amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life. The Mediterranean climate, with its warm sun and clear blue skies, enhances the garden's natural splendor, making it a popular destination for those seeking respite from the city's urban landscape. The garden's diverse collection of plants, including exotic species from around the world, adds to its charm and appeal. The soothing sound of water cascading from the fountains creates a calming atmosphere, inviting visitors to unwind and connect with nature. This photograph, taken on May 28, 2007, offers a glimpse into the enduring allure of Athens' National Garden, a hidden gem in the heart of Europe's ancient city.
