Will then continue on to the House of the Greek Parliament, the Monument to the Unknown Soldier where will watch the changing of the guards, a classic but sacred moment of our city tradition.
Our tour continues towards the National Gardens and onto the neoclassical building of Zappeion Mansion, the worldwide famous ceremonie's hall.
