Come take a leisurely stroll with me, without being bombarded with unnecessary information. Here is a snapshot of the tour.
· The Art Deco Monument of the Unknown Soldier, in front of the Greek Parliament. This marble tomb commemorates those who died for freedom. Every hour, the emblematic changing of the guard pays tribute to the fallen, 24/7.
· The Greek Parliament building was initially inaugurated as the Royal Palace. Otto of Bavaria, the first king of Greece, lived and ruled for 30 years. His successor, king George I, also lived there until his assassination.
· The Triplet of the Neoclassical buildings:
1. The National Academy (1887), was built by Ernst Ziller. At the entrance, the statues of Plato & Socrates will read your mind.
2. The National University (1837), the first university in the South Eastern Europe. Today it houses the Great Chamber of Ceremonies, where graduations are held.
3. The National Library (1902) was built by Theophil Hansen and Ernst Ziller. Since the transfer of the collection to a new location, the building has served as reading room.
· Ermou Street never judges the buyers. We'll browse through the chain stores of this commercial pedestrian zone and pass by the Cathedral square.
