Breaking news: At least 26 dead, 85 injured after a passenger train and a freight train collide along a route between two popular tourist cities in northern Greece. First responders are at the incident, which occurred some 230 miles north of Athens.

Greeks and Turks have lived together for so many years. Just a century ago you could find Greeks & Turks at the same cities. Yet some of you imbeciles seem to forget that. Btw what we nowdays call “Kokoretsi” or “Kokoreç” has it's roots in Byzantine (Roman) cuisine.....
Traditional Greek offal dish, Kokoretsi, took 1st place on the list of the best-rated offal dishes in the world

On the small island of Gramvousa, you can find a small church that is dedicated to the “Holy Mary of the Thieves” (Panagía Kleftrína). It took that name since Cretan pirates would regularly visit this church to beg the Holy Mary not to punish them for their raids. 🪬🧿🏴☠️
