The leaning Greek church that steals the glory from the Tower of Pisa.

A church in the Greek village of Ropoto in Thessaly has become an attraction for tourists wishing to test their balance skills.

With a 17-degree inclination, the church causes dizziness to anyone who manages to visit it.

A climate-related mass #dieoff leaves over 100 tons of dead #fish collecting at a Greek port

VOLOS, #Greece (AP) — "More than 100 tons of dead fish were collected in and around the port of #Volos in central Greece after a mass die-off linked to extreme weather fluctuations, authorities said Thursday.

"The dead #FreshwaterFish filled the bay 320 kilometers (200 miles) north of #Athens, and nearby rivers. Water levels were swollen by #floods in 2023, followed by months of #SevereDrought.

"The die-off has hit local businesses along the seafront, reducing commercial activity by 80% in the past three days, according to Volos’ Chamber of Commerce.

"Fishing trawlers have been chartered by the regional authorities, along with earthmovers, to scoop the dead fish out of the sea and load them onto trucks bound for an incinerator.

"The fish came from #LakeKarla in central Greece, a body of water drained in the early 1960s and restored in 2018 to combat the effects of drought.

“'There are millions of dead fish all the way from Lake Karla and 20 kilometers (12 miles) eastward,' Anna Maria Papadimitriou, the deputy regional governor of the central #Thessaly area, told state-run television.

"'Right now, there is a huge effort underway to clean up the millions of dead fish that have washed along the shorelines and riverbanks … an effort that involves multiple contractors,' she said.

"Water levels rose abruptly in fall 2023 during a #DeadlyStorm that caused extensive flooding in central Greece, but have since receded due to low rainfall and successive summer #heatwaves ."
