The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is in front of the Palace of the Greek Parliament, in the center of Athens.

The monument is very simple and it consists of a sculpture in which a naked warrior with helmet and shield in hand is sprawled, symbolizing the soldiers' sacrifice in battle. The monument is dedicated to all those soldiers whose names were never known and were not recorded in history, yet with their sacrifice they ensured life and freedom to the remaining Greeks.

The monument is guarded honorary by the famous presidential guard, the Evzones or otherwise known as tsoliades. The Evzones are an elite military corps with characteristic traditional clothing (foustanela, rustic shoes), whose members stand vigilant guards in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Almost every visitor of Athens has a photo with the evzone in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and whoever doesn't... should get one.
