EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Greek culture and tradition in the heart of Athens. The image showcases two young men, known as Evzones, standing tall outside the Parliament building in Syndagma Square. Dressed in their ceremonial uniforms, these guards epitomize honor and dedication. The Evzones are renowned for their distinctive costumes, which include a pleated skirt called a fustanella, white stockings, red fez hats with long tassels, and black shoes with pom-poms. Their uniform represents centuries-old traditions that have been passed down through generations. In this horizontal shot taken by photographers Guy Thouvenin and Robert Harding, we see the Evzones from a side view as they march with precision and grace. The vibrant colors of their attire stand out against the backdrop of historical architecture. This photograph not only captures a moment in time but also transports us to Greece's rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on ceremony and tradition within Greek society. Whether you have visited Athens or dream of exploring this travel destination one day, this print is sure to evoke feelings of awe and admiration for Greece's unique customs.
