Syntagma Square and the Changing of the Guard - Athens
Last Updated: 18th Mar 2013
Syntagma (Constitution) Square is home to the Parliament Building, home to the Greek Parliament but once the palace of the Kings of Greece. The Square is also home to the tomb of the unknown soldier and the traditionally dressed, pom-pom toe-ed guards, known as Evzoni. You can see the Changing of the Guard here every hour and if you’ve travelled all the way to Athens it worth hanging around to see the ceremony.

This web page certainly has all of the details and points I required concerning this matter and did not know who to ask.

This is definitely worth checking out if you’ve got some free time in Athens. It was unlike any changing of the guard I’d ever seen. I’ve written a blog post about it here: http://www.girlintrepid.com/2011/05/04/unmissable-changing-of-the-guard-in-athens/

Recent Tips
Some other suggestions, although not necessary - Travel pillow, chewing gum (especially for those who have ear problems during flight), book and/or ipod and one change of clothing (air lines do lose luggage occasionally)
If you are doing a time out tour (staying in hotels), a travel iron/hairdryer will come in handy as many european hotels do not provide these facilities.
One of the most amazing places in the world! Best thing to do - GET LOST!
