M. T. Heart: Tomb of the Unknown Soldier & The Parliament Building & Syntagma Square

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier & The Parliament Building & Syntagma Square

To get to Syntagma Square, take the metro to "Syntagma". It was named Syntagma Square because the first constitution in Greece was delcared here.The Syntagma Square is also the center of many forms of public transportation in Athens. For example, the hop-on hop-off bus starts here. To me, I think taking the hop-on hop-off tour bus is a great choice to start your journey in Greece. You can take a whole ride first to get to know the sites and museums in Athens. Then, you can plan your schedule and take the bus to the places you want to visit. The price for Athens-two days is 18 euros for adults and 8 euros for kids from 6-14. If you also want to go to Piraeus, then it would be 22 for adults and 9 for kids.

*I am 17, but I got a children price, so I guess if you bargain with the seller, you might get children price even if you're a teen.
*There is a big post office near the square, so if you want to buy stamps or post a postcard you can do it there.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier& The Parliament Building is near Syntagma Square. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is in front of the Parliament Building. The special thing about it is, there are two evzones(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evzones)(presidential guards) who guard the tomb. Every hour on the hour there will be a changing of the guards, and on Sundays 11:00 a.m there will be a changing of a guard ceremony with a lot of evzones wearing traditional uniforms. It is a site that you must see when visiting Greece!
