    This is the center of Athens and is truly top-10 worth seeing in Athens! See the soldiers in traditional Greek garb guarding the remains of the soldier of the Battle of Marathon in the center.

    Wonderful, lively place. Fountain colorfully lit at night. Groups of teens listening to music and dancing - cool atmosphere. Views to parliament, Plaka, and Acripolis.

    One of the biggest and most famous squares in the city. Intersection point for many transportation, so easy to access. The express bus from airport stops here. Close to other touristic attractions.

    It's the first square you must see when you visit Athens. By the Parliament, it's the perfect base to visit the rest sightseeings, including Acropolis. You can go for shopping nearby at Ermou str. too

    What can I say about the "Constitution Square"? History, history, history! Beautiful architecture, easy access (metro, bus..) and free wifi! Don't forget to take a couple of photos of the whereabouts!

    The heart square of this city is surrounded by the parliament's building (ex-palace) and the half of this country's ministries headquarters. During spring & summer enjoy your coffee and lunch around.

    The heart of Athens. You can find kids sitting on stairs and great hotels. Beautiful events and traffic. Begars and procedures. You must feel the vibe. Dirty most of the time. But awfully loveable.

    It often goes unnoticed, but there's an ancient stone at the NW corner of the square that marks the limits of the gardens of Theophrastus from 600BC.

    When there is a demo, using the metro here means you will encounter high concentrations of persistent dear gas. Bring a handkerchief!

    Down town in Athens, the Syntagma square is the most visited place. The parliament, great hotels, coffee places, banks, and most of the well known stores are located there.
