Presidential Palace

Description:

The Presidential Palace in the Greek capital has an interesting history. In 1868, King George I, in honor of the birth of his son, decided to build a palace, but implemented the idea only after the marriage of his heir. The project became his wedding gift. Today it is the official residence of the President of the country. Located in the center of the city on the street Herodes Attica. It has three floors in neoclassical style. The territory is 27 hectares. Official receptions of heads of other states are held at the gates, and the Guard of Honor carries out round-the-clock service here. It is impossible to go to the palace itself, but you can walk around the garden, but you need to have a passport with you. You can take the subway to Syntagma Station.
