A complete list with Glyfada's playgrounds
It is no exaggeration to say that Glyfada has the best playgrounds in Athens, and this is because they are the works of the shipowner Thanasis Martinos, a resident of Glyfada, so that children can play for free and safely. All are built to modern specifications with the best toys, with soft carpet on the ground to avoid injuries.
There are a total of 19 which I divided into categories so you can find the one that suits you:
- 4 large playgrounds
- 2 parks
- 13 neighbourhood playgrounds
I start with the biggest ones, the 4 playgrounds and the 2 parks.
In Terpsithea
- Karaiskaki square: the largest playground in the municipality. With cable car, castle, swings and other toys as well as picnic tables.

- Evryali Park (Eleftheriou Venizelou street): as the name suggests this is a park. With trails, greenery and space for soccer, at Gaia cafe you can also enjoy your coffee with wi-fi. The floor is mostly grass.
