Photos from my experience visiting the Zappeion Hall in Athens! The surrounding area is fantastic full of diverse trees, flowers and wildlife. During my visit I particularly enjoyed visiting the Fish and Turtle ponds located towards the back of the Zappeion Hall. The ponds are beautiful and allow you to catch a breathe and relax especially if you manage to find a seat on a nearby bench. The Zappeion Hall is huge in stature with gigantic columns covering the entrance, inside you’re met with architecture that has been perceived very well and remains in great condition. In conclusion I would recommend anyone in Athens to visit the Zappeion Hall and especially the surrounding parks to get a nice change of scenery and pace. #athens #greece #parks #turtle #fish
