BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
Getting around
Nea Filadelfia and Nea Chalkidona are easy to explore on foot, especially around the squares, shops, and Alsos Park. To get to central Athens, you can use city buses, checking updated routes and timetables on the Athens transport website or app. The nearest metro stations are in the surrounding neighborhoods, including Perissos and Pefkakia; from there, continue on foot or by bus. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are useful in the evening or when traveling with luggage. On match days at , traffic can increase and some streets may be crowded.
When to go
Spring and autumn are the most pleasant times to stroll through Alsos Park and experience the neighborhoods outdoors. In summer, days can be very hot: it’s better to visit the park in the morning or late afternoon and bring water. Winter is generally milder than in many European destinations, though it can be rainy.
Where to eat
The area offers tavernas, souvlaki spots, cafés, and pastry shops, with a good selection of Greek dishes and casual meals. To find places, explore the shopping streets and squares of Nea Filadelfia and Nea Chalkidona, or stop around Alsos Park. In the evening and on match days, some venues can be very busy: if you have a specific place in mind, check the opening hours and consider booking ahead.
