  1. i saw them only at few places when i visited unfortunately 😢. ok in contrast , i saw basically no cats in other cities i visited in europe

    there was few on the way up to acropolis and a bunch at the docks/seashore parts

  2. How about other cities of Greece? If every city is more or less like this that would mean Greeks and Turks have another thing in common

  3. Be careful petting wild cats though. I had a nasty scratch from a cat chilling on a temple ruin in Rhodes.

  4. First, they came for Baklavas, and I did not speak out—because I was not a baklava seller.

    Then they came for Dolma(daki), and I did not speak out—because I was not a housewife.

    Then they came for Coffee( Mokka), and I did not speak out—because I was not a coffee shop owner.

    Then they came for our cats—and there was no one left to speak for our cats.

  5. I have never been to Istanbul but the impression I get is that cats there are being better cared for than in Athens in which cats are neglected. So that title would be kinda unfair(?)

  6. Ä°t’s Ä°stanbul and everyone knows it. Now Greeks want to steal cat culture after all those foods

  7. Don’t know much about Athens but I’m currently on one of the islands there and I can safely say that I’ve never seen so many cats in one place.

  8. Unfortunately, no. Unlike Turkey in general and Istanbul in particular there’s still too many sick fucks that maim, torture and kill cats for fun or because they “annoy” them. And now that I’ve reminded myself of that fact, I have to devote a few minutes to wish them agonizing cancer and other horrid malaise.

  9. It’s Istanbul IMO, been to both destinations multiple times. It’s definitely Istanbul.

  10. Bro turkey has more cats/dogs then other places the dogs/cats get shelter outside food inside the dog/cat houses you cannot give them this title while turkey has better care for the stray animals

  11. Love the icon of Saint John! We went to Euboea on 27th May 2024 and it was majestic!!!
