There is a beautiful ceremony of changing the sentinels beaside the Greece Parliament. Evzons - the Greece men from mountains, are historic sentinels of the Parliament. Every sunday in the big celebrity they are changing the guard. Look at incredible big wooden shoes with big pompons.

  • you clearly have not any idea of sympolizms.you are simply a dump f*ck.learn and speak.

  • Dead serious i guess. That's the Uknown Soldiers monument in Athens. It's a symbol for all soldiers that died during WWII (English, French, American, Greek, Russian...) That's the honour guard for the monument and the unorthodox uniforms are the Greek traditional uniforms from 800bc and after. As for the silly walks, i think you should search for military walks. It's the same with Russian and it comes from mediaval Byzantium.

  • @kontragerilla ask your mom

  • why each wear wedding dress :D?

  • They're really wonderful! Thanks for posting.

  • They keep stomping, but they keep missing those pidgeons. I somehow think tha the original Greek soldiers would have done better. They musta got pretty hungry fighting those Turks. JK, no disrespect intended.

  • This is cool as hell and I would love to see it in person someday.

  • Looks like the Eurpopean trash has sploken. Skata sta moutra sou

  • The uniforms are taken from the Greek War of Independence, the rebels didn't exactly have standard uniforms but this is the closest they come. I'm not exactly sure what the walk is from, however.

  • 10 a.m. on Sunday. There is a smaller changing of the guard every hour on the hour.

  • ha ha.. ridicouls, we europeans pay also that...buffoni olimpici. ya ya
