  1. Devastating #wildfires broke out in #Greece once again. After a fire on #Paros island, firefighters are now combatting fires on #Crete, the #Peloponnese, in #Boeotia (at the gulf of #Corinth), and most recently on a hill very close to the #Athens suburb of #Haidari.

    Large plumes of smoke can be seen from miles away.

  3. I heard there's a trend on Mastodon about #silentsunday and it's usually dark photos. I happened to capture this few hours ago, I liked how the pigeons silhouettes are clear.

  5. 2/2

    This early bottling has held great and won't die soon, but this tasty moment is as good as it's going to get. I'm actually a little surprised it held this well.

    Dive in.

    Newer vintages, $30s.

  7. When you (or your little dog) startle a big snake they coil in outrage like they are boiling. They disappear into the undergrowth like one of Lovecraft's shoggoths.

    The glass lizard looks like a big snake as it is meter long and legless, but it doesn't have the same fluidity - not surprising, as it has bone plates under its skin. I surprised one this week, and it faced us steadfastly. When I picked up my dog, it looped away moving swiftly but entirely unlike a snake, like a section of barely flexible plastic pipe come to life.

    Today I saw the secretive sand boa living next to our melon patch. It's head was out of its burrow, but was completely covered in loose earth. There was only a glimpse of gleaming scales, and a tongue flicking out of the dirt. Then it got spooked, and calmly withdrew.

  9. L'Express: "Les #Etats-Unis et la #Chine pourraient entrer en #guerre par excès de confiance": le constat inquiet de Joshua Rovner

    Ce fut la montée en puissance d’ #Athènes et la peur qu’elle inspira à Sparte qui rendirent la guerre inévitable", écrivait l’historien Thucydide au sujet de la guerre du #Péloponnèse, un conflit majeur qui déchira le monde grec entre 431 et 404 av. J.-C

  11. Once upon a time there used to be an extensive network of narrow-gauge lines in #Greece’s south 🇬🇷. The voyage usually started (and ended) in #Athens at the #Peloponnese station.
    Picture taken in 1985. The train seen here is, if I remember well, the overnight service from #Kalamata, hauled by an “Alco” Class 9100 and an “Alsthom” Class 9200.

  13. Santorini charges €20 just to step off the boat. The Peloponnese? Free entry to five UNESCO sites, 1,200km of coastline, hotels €80–€130/night.

    New episode: we break down real 2026 costs for every traveller type, expose three logistics traps, and answer whether mainland Greece is the smartest move you can make this year.
