Athens. The Changing of the Guard of the Evzones in front of the Greek Parliament Building 

Thanks for your comment. I am glad you liked it. I agree that in the evening with illumination this monument looks even more majestic.

I think by doing this they show introduction and grief at the same time.

This is the first time I’ve seen such costumes, in my opinion it’s only in Greece, you can’t confuse it with any other countries.

Plus, they hit the boots on the ground as they walk, as a means of salute to the fallen, but also to communicate them that the Greek soil they've fallen to secure, is now free

Oh, forgot to add that the raising of the legs is symbolic: They were employed as elite assault infantry, so, they suffered and inflicted huge casualties during their head-on attacks, so they raise their legs to climb over the supposedly hillock of friendly and enemy corpses

thank you for such an important addition to the video,@@apmoy70

ναι μπράβο παιδιά! Πρέπει να είναι πολύ δύσκολο να περπατάς έτσι και μάλιστα με τέτοια παπούτσια.

For a European viewer, this ceremony in a traditional style looks a little unusual, I agree 😊

They are THE PRESIDENTIAL GUARDS.... Each time they hit the ground with their " tsarouchia" they're sending a message to the fallen HEROES that they're not forgotten Each part of their UNIFORM ux carefully hand made The BLUE AND WHITE the national colours are throughout The " foustanella " is 30 metres in length and has 400 pleats, representing the 400 years of TURKISH SLAVERY..... SO A LITTLE RESPECT GOES A LONG WAY

what do you mean by that?? What country are you from??

very unusual movements and very difficult. Well done boys!
