Hellenic Parliament is a unicameral legislative body of Greece, established in 1843. It represents citizens through an elected body of Members of Parliament and is located in the Old Royal Palace, overlooking Syntagma Square in Athens.

With three revisions since 1986, the current Constitution establishes a presidential parliamentary democracy wherein the head of state may interfere in politics.

The Parliament's most important function is to legislate on major political issues such as taxation, spending, national defense, and international relations – making it a vibrant and exciting institution where voices from all corners of society can be heard.
