They should put bars on the doors and windows, and lock inside all of the corrupted parliament that destroyed this country environmentally and financially. More

The parliament building is not very impressive but the change of the guard in front of the building is very special. We were not inside the building. We walked around the building in the main streets and in the national gardens. More

This is the ex palace of our previous kings.! Seeing it both in daytime as well as nighttime is well worth it..! While there, you should surely stand in the Constitution square and watch the changing of the guards and the guarding of the Unknown Soldier. More

The Paliament building is nothing special and the only interesting thing are the guards with their unique uniforms and the changing of the guard. Good to take some photos, nothing more. More

A nice place to see but a nice place to burn down also because of the rats they inhabit theplace and by saying rats I mean the crooked politicians that ruined Greece in the present situation.Avoid these days because of the repeated riots there. More
