must never forget about any war

Athens' Tomb of the Unknown Soldier commemorates all those Greek soldiers who died in any war. Among its inscriptions are quotes from Pericles Funeral Oration as written by Thucydides in his History of the Peloponnesian War : 'and one bed is carried empty / made for the unknown ones.' During major holidays, politicians and officials lay wreaths at the tomb.

Changing the Guard

Changing the Guard takes place at 11 am on Sunday mornings, and involves the whole Guard with its officers and a military band, all marching from the Guard Barracks to the Tomb for the Change, and back. Changing the Guard is a popular Sunday morning spectacle for Athenians and tourists alike.
