Hidden in a quiet alley at the old Jewish quarter of the old city of Rhodes is the Synagogue and adjacent small Jewish museum with moving exhibits presenting the everyday life of Rhodian Jews, most of whom perished in the Holocaust. #Greece

One of the office kitties charmed its way into the building and up the staircase to avoid the outside heat. She answered all my questions on the day's adventures with several meows. 🐈

Αλλά και όταν παραδέχεται ότι υπάρχουν νέα στοιχεία, είναι και πάλι αδύνατο να κάνει έρευνα.

Φταίνε οι δημοσιογράφοι που τηρούν τη δεοντολογία και δεν αποκαλύπτουν τις πηγές τους που ο εισαγγελέας του Αρείου Πάγου δεν ανοίγει ξανά την υπόθεση των υποκλοπών, παρά το αίτημα του Πλημμελειοδικείου. www.kathimerini.gr/society/dika...

This friendly kitty came over last night for a pet and to protect herself from the drizzle, and sat on the glass flooring showcasing the antiquities below (some kind of walls and a pipe), probably unearthed during the construction of the restaurant-hotel. She was ready for her photo op. #Kerameikos

Τα επόμενα δύο λεωφορεία έρχονται σε 2 λεπτά. Τέλεια. Ποια λεωφορεία όμως είναι αυτά μας το κρατάει μυστικό ο ΟΑΣΑ, χάρη στη χαλασμένη οθόνη. Θα είναι έκπληξη. #δημόσιες_συγκοινωνιες.

When is the time, I wonder? I'd like to set an alarm.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on the capture of Nicolas Maduro: "Nicholas Maduro presided over a brutal and repressive dictatorship that brought about unimaginable suffering on the Venezuelan people. The end of his regime offers new hope for the country. This is not the time to comment on the legality of the recent actions."

Early morning beach walk (and swim). If you're an early bird, the beach is yours, even in the Cyclades at the end of July. #Greece

An empty, sandy beach with a rocky mountain and scattered, small white buildings in the background. On the right, there are some sparsely grown trees and empty sun loungers. The sky is a clear blue, and the sea is still.

A view of a sea from the sandy beach and a rocky mountain in the background. On the left side of the horizon, there are some boats anchored at a small pier. There is no wind, making it look like the sea is bleeding seamlessly with the sand.

A view of a section of an empty beach with a line of low, white buildings (tavernas and cafes) in the background. The sky is a clear blue and sea is completely still.
