Syntagma is located in the center of Athens, close to a number of sights, such as Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the National Garden, Zappeio, Ermou str., Plaka, Monastiraki etc. Easy to reach, full of tourists, provides a nice start for short excursions around Athens! More

It has nothing to see, nothing to give, cold, colourless, no elements of greek culture, ancient or modern. Reminded me of Cairo by night. Sad for such historical place. More

We only saw it at night on the eve of yet another general strike (October 19,20) and could feel the tension in the air, made more so by the constant police presence and media vehicles.

First picture we saw was some tents and many shields of protest all over the square (See pictures) . There were some protestors in the square but we did... More

The changing of the guard was the highlight of our visit to Syntagma Square. It looked a bit worn from the protests and squatters, and the numerous banners and protest signs. There were no actual protests that day - they must have been on strike! More

mostly down to the protestors camped out here. The last time we visited was the middle on July. It was all peaceful but there wasn't much to see on the square itself, expect for a speech going on. King George is on the right if you walking down towards the shopping area. The parliment building is on the other end... More
