Unknown Soldier

A neoclassical-era monument in central Athens, watched over by the Evzones. The site is best known for its precise guard-changing ceremonies. Visits are brief but memorable, and it sits close to other central sights.

Highlights

You will see ceremonial guards in traditional uniform performing slow, precise movements.
There is a small change every hour and a larger, more elaborate procession on Sunday mornings with a band.
The guards wear the foustanella, a kilt-like skirt whose 400 pleats have historical meaning.
The mood is formal and respectful, so expect quiet observation rather than a casual show.
