- “The soldiers who stand guard at the Presidential Palace are called the Evzones. The Evzones are a distinguished division of the Greek Military. These guards are known for their historical costumes. They were chosen for their high-visibility posts, in part, due to the foustanella they wear, which are based on the Greek national costume. The foustanella is made from 25 yards of white cotton folded into 400 tiny pleats and resembles a kilt.”
