The Evzones
(meaning the ‘well-belted’, a term traced to Homer’s
time), are also called the Corps, Flag Guard, Palace Guard
and Royal Guard, the last two vestiges of the royal regime.
Their training camp is located very near to the Parliament
building and one will often see them marching ceremoniously
back and forth along Vas. Sofias Avenue and Irodou Attikou
Street whilst changing shifts.
