Animals in Greek cities

Today during the trip we met many animals on the streets of Greece. We were surprised that they live in harmony with people and are not aggressive. They look poor and do not belong to anyone. They are mainly dogs and cats. We did not see small dogs, they were older, large, scruffy animals. 

The people here prefer the company of cats to dogs, we saw them sitting on a chair, in public buildings and shops. That were allowed into rooms and sat in windowsills among the people, while dogs were immediately thrown out. We were suprised by this sight and the contact people had with  strange animals. People in Poland would never accept homeless animals into caffes.

During our trip to Palios Pantaleimonas we saw these animals with our own eyes. This view was sad , yet charming. Everyone was stroking the animals, who were not afraid of people. There were places. There were places prepared for them with bowls of water.

We would like to make people aware of the importance of caring for animals, so below is the link/account number to help Greek animals get a chance for a better life.
