2 Stop 2 of 12 on Athens in One Morning

Syntagma Square, Parliament and the Evzones

Acropolis, Athens

A Preview

"This is Syntagma Square, and the big cream-colored building at the top of it is the Greek Parliament. The two soldiers standing dead still in front, in white pleated skirts and shoes with pom-poms on the toes, are the Evzones, the presidential guard. Keep half an eye on them. The man this building was made for ends his story dressed exactly like them."
