Athens Presidential Mansion

The Athens Presidential Mansion, situated along the elegant Herodou Attikou Street, was originally a Royal Palace before being transformed into the Presidential Mansion following the overthrow of the Greek monarchy in 1974. This 19th-century neoclassical building, with its lush French-style gardens, offers a glimpse into the architectural grandeur of the past. Visitors can observe the hourly changing of the guard, a popular and traditional ceremony that draws crowds regularly.
