Itinerary
1
Opap Arena Stadium - AEK Stadium Agia Sofia
We’ll pass by the impressive OPAP Arena, home of AEK Athens FC — a modern stadium that honors the club’s refugee roots and the proud spirit of Nea Filadelfeia. A great spot to pause for photos and local stories.

Alsos Neas Filadelfias
As we leave the neighborhood streets, we enter the magnificent Alsos (Grove) of Nea Filadelfeia, the community’s vibrant green heart.
This is more than just a park; it’s a living monument to human perseverance and nature. Covering over 40 hectares, this dense forest was literally created by the first settlers on what was once a barren hill, with the first major planting efforts beginning over a century ago in 1914.
45 minutes
3
Nea Filadelfia
We’ll stroll through the historical streets of Nea Filadelfeia, where old houses, family-owned shops, and timeless aromas tell the story of the neighborhood’s refugee past and vibrant local life.
We will visit key memorial sites like the Memorial Park of Asia Minor Greeks and Constantinople Square. At Patriarchou Square, we’ll take a well-deserved break: grab a Greek coffee or taste the local cuisine at Lemonokipos restaurant (optional)
