“Why are you taking a photo?”, a ship’s owner shouted to me from across the street.

🇬🇷 Last Sunday at the First Cemetery of Athens….. At least on that particular day, this cemetery – the oldest (established in 1837), largest (15 hectares) and probably the most ostentatious in the city – didn’t seem to attract any tourists but ourselves. Instead it was busy with families, dressed in their summer Sunday best, who were there to pay their respects to their deceased loved ones. Also milling around were Orthodox priests, waiting to be commissioned to bless graves.

🇬🇷 Cats are everywhere in Athens. Some live alone on the streets, others in colonies in parks, shrubby verges, cemeteries or amidst ancient ruins. Some are utterly feral, others tolerate being approached, occasionally to even appear to welcome attention. Most rely on being fed by local residents and in the late afternoon and early evening individual cats and entire colonies wait patiently for their regular benefactors to arrive to serve them. Often veterinary care is provided, ranging from deworming, flea and eye treatments to the neutering of kittens. Then, of course, there are the pampered pets – whether they be completely apartment-bound, allowed to come and go to their secure home or are just provided a form of shelter outside an apartment building, café or restaurant.

🇬🇷 The 16th century Church of Agia Dynami (Holy Power) is hidden between pillars supporting a luxury hotel. The church is said to be a protector of pregnant women, but archaeological finds suggest that in pre-Christian times there was a temple on this site dedicated to Hercules.
