"The Evzones Collection" by Nick Bourdaniotis is opening in Sydney, May 2022, then Athens War Museum, Greece in 2023.
Following the success of the preview exhibitions at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra and at the Australian Maritime Museum in Sydney, the highly praised and breathtaking photographic exhibition of Greece's Presidential Guards entitled 'The Evzones Collection" by Nick Bourdaniotis, will now have its first public viewing in Sydney.
The Hellenic Club of Sydney is proudly hosting this first open public viewing of 'The Evzones Collection" at the newly renovated building at ‘Beta – The Grand'.
Exhibition director Mr George Karantonis and exhibition curator Ms Eirini Alligiannis will be on hand to guide visitors through this unique photographic collection, showcasing Greece’s favourite sons: the elite and highly revered soldiers of the Greek Presidential Guard, known as the Evzones, in a rare, behind the scenes look at the routines, ceremonies and national commitments in their daily lives.

About Nick Bourdaniotis
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and in that case, the work of Nick Bourdaniotis, the Director of Photography for Greek City Times, is worth millions.
Through his lens, he has captured the feeling and passion we all have inside of us for our Greek heritage. That strong love and emotion we can't describe in words.
And now, for the first time, Nick has put together his favourite photos in an exhibition called "The Evzones Collection by Nick Bourdaniotis”.
The Presidential Guard, Evzones, is the epitome of bravery and freedom, honouring the heroes thousands of years on, who fought and sacrificed for the land on which they stand.
