Armed with M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, with bayonets, Evzones march behind an officer. The ceremonial Evzone uniform consists of the scarlet fez (farion), the cotton kilt (foustanella), the waistcoat (fermeli), the white shirt with wide sleeves (ypodetes), the white woolen stockings (periskelides) and the red leather clogs with black pompons (tsarouchia).

The cotton kilt (foustanella) worn by the Evzones is made of 30m (98 feet) of white cloth, and is traditionally said to contain 400 pleats, to symbolize each year of Ottoman rule. The leading Evzone, with the longer kilt and the more elaborate waistcoat, is an officer.

Commemorating Liberation
The celebration of the 71st anniversary of the liberation of Athens in pictures
Maria Coveou | October 15th, 2015
On October 12, 1944, after 1,264 days of Nazi occupation, the people of Athens saw the last German soldiers withdrawing from their city. A lone German soldier removed the Nazi flag from the Acropolis, marking the end to a cruel and devastating occupation by the Axis powers that cost the lives of over 500,000 Greeks nationwide, many from starvation and reprisals. A few days later, the Greek flag was raised over the Acropolis in a moving ceremony presided over by then prime minister Georgios Papandreou. The moment of liberation, “the best day and sweetest in the world,” as Nobel Prize winner poet Giorgos Seferis wrote, is still commemorated.
October 12 this year marked the 71st anniversary of the city’s liberation, and celebrations included a faithful re-enactment ceremony of the raising of the Greek flag over the ancient citadel. Wearing traditional national costumes and bearing the liberation flag, members of the Lyceum Club of Greek Women dancing group made their way up the rock to the flagpole in front of the Parthenon, before handing it over to members of the Evzones, or Presidential Guard.
