The changing of the guard

At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of Parliament in central Athens. The évzones (national guard) are not to be missed.

About this place:

There is so much to see in Athens, what with the Acropolis, Agora, National Archaeological Museum, and National Gardens all within walking distance. But a gem that shouldn't be missed is the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in front of Parliament. The évzones wear those camera friendly uniforms and there is a wonderful restaurant just down the steps from the Tomb.
