The Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the monument to the Unknown Soldier

The Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the monument to the Unknown Soldier in the center of Athens is one of the most important sights in Athens.

Every hour, the Euzones perform the "changing of the guard" at the Syntagma, in front of the monument to the Unknown Soldier. The euzones stand motionless guarding the monument. The ceremony lasts about 15 minutes. The euzones with a strict pace head towards the center of the monument where they wait for their colleagues to change them. Afterwards, they start their march to the camp for rest. The two young nobles take their places.
