It's Greek? I thought it was the uniform for the Ministry of Silly Walks.

That's something of a running gag on these forums, isn't it? I need to brush up my own silly walk, come to think of it. It involves hunching my back and dragging my hind leg like Igor. I used to do it when I was a child at the store with my mom to embarass her and make her hurry up and take me home.
But no. I don't think I would make that particular comment to one of these guards, lol.

A Greek coworker has described this uniform to me as that of the mountain warriors in the Turkish period.
The link given by cajunscot describes this garment as a kilt. This one, however, uses TEN yards of fabric, with FOUR HUNDRED pleats!
