#travelchecklist My Athens adventure was unforgettable! 🌟 The city’s rich history and vibrant culture made every moment special. I explored the Acropolis and its stunning Parthenon for about €20, which was worth every cent for the history and views. The nearby Acropolis Museum (€10) was fascinating, showcasing ancient artifacts and offering insights into Athens’ storied past. 🏛️ Strolling through Plaka, the old neighborhood, was a highlight—charming streets, local shops, and delicious Greek food. 🍇 For a bit of relaxation, I visited the National Garden of Athens, a serene escape right in the city. 🌿 Be sure to check out Syntagma Square and witness the changing of the guard at the Parliament Building. 📸 The blend of ancient and modern Athens made my trip truly memorable. Highly recommend this city for anyone eager to dive into history and culture! #trip #Athens #TravelChecklist #Greece #Acropolis #TravelTips

Syntagma Square
Syntagma Square is the central square of Athens. It is located in front of the 19th century Old Royal Palace housing the Greek Parliameny since 1934. Syntagma Square is the most important square of modern Athens from both a historical and social point of view, at the heart of commercial activity and Greek politics. The name Syntagma refers to the neighbourhood surrounding the square. The metro station underneath the square, where lines 2 and 3 connect, along with the tram terminal and the numerous bus stops, constitutes one of the busiest transport hubs in the country. Do come early to enjoy the highlight of Syntagma Square which is the changing of guards ceremony. #syntagmasquare #athens #greece

Syntagma Square | Athens
Syntagma Square is a busy central location in the city of Athens. The location is quite convenient as it is in the hearth of the city's down town. The whole visit, including walking around and taking pictures should last between 2 to 3 hours. It is home to the country's parliament, is popular to see the changing of guards every hour on the hour. It is an event not to be missed during your visit to the city, especially for children. Speaking of food, it would take a long time to sample all the traditional dishes. There are plenty of restaurant and coffeeshops to enjoy the delicious cuisine. #createwithtrip #syntagmasquare #greece #athens

Athens, Greece
Come to Syntagma Square to watch the interesting guard changing ceremony. The guards' unique attire, all handmade, are traditional Greek men's clothing. The red hat symbolizes the blood shed by the heroes; the black silk on the hat symbolizes the words of Christ; the skirt has 400 pleats, symbolizing the 400 years Greece was occupied by Turkey. The shoes have rivets on the bottom, and you can hear heavy footsteps when walking. The black pom-pom on the shoes, it is said that there used to be blades hidden inside, used to assassinate enemies. The Acropolis of Athens, at that time the line was up to 'France', even wanted to give up, but since we were here, we still braved the sun and climbed up, after all, seeing is believing. Hence the following copy: Looking for the traces of the god of love ~ Athens is named after Zeus's daughter, Athena, who represents wisdom, justice, and beauty. The son of Athena in the legend, that is, Cupid with wings and divine power, adds a strong love to the mysterious mountain city. 👼 Athens is the cradle of Western civilization, the center of the Acropolis is the bronze statue of the protector Athena, the main building is the Parthenon temple worshiping Athena, the layout of the buildings is free, high and low, clear. Perhaps only the innocent people will believe in Platonic love, but it is undeniable that everyone is pursuing the Utopia in their hearts throughout their lives. The myths of the ancient Greek gods, Plato's metaphysics, and the legendary lost Atlantis are no longer guiding. The city wall of more than three thousand years has witnessed all changes, will the ideal country be realized? Utopia will exist.
