Changing of the guards in front of the Parliament – hourly spectacle

The hourly changing of the guards in front of the parliament building in Athens has meanwhile become a tourist highlight. Especially the extraordinary uniform of the soldiers will surprise you. A skirt with precisely ironed folds and beak-wood shoes with a pompom make the uniform quite unique. After an hour of standing still, the two guards are replaced by two others. Thereby it comes to unusual leg movements of the soldiers, whereby the legs are swung far upwards and the wooden shoe then strikes the ground loudly. Don't miss this spectacle!
