Outdoor exercise is permitted, swimming in the sea, walking the dog and when you have tennis courts next door, as my daughter does, you can play a game or two. Mostly people around here walk, in pairs, in groups, on the road, along the coast and up the hills.
This photo was taken on a track above Neorion Bay
where the kids went with their dogs one day
Looking down towards the Naval Base and the main town.
The hills in the distance are on the mainland
Feeding the strays
There is an area near a small rural church where cats are dumped. They are fed and looked after by some of the locals and the
animal welfare society. Now and again they are all rounded up and sterilised so at least they are not reproducing.
An animal burrow. Quite large.
I can't imagine what would live in their. We don't have foxes, wild pigs or anything large enough to fit in there. It looks too big for a rabbit
Maybe it was this tortoise who should have been hibernating
Brock the Poros Badger could live in that burrow or sett LA.
ReplyDeleteBrock the Poros Bagder. If we ever locate him I will tell him his name! More likely to be a weasel or a hare.
DeleteYou have a pretty area for walking. I live 2 blocks from the ocean so also enjoy beauty on my walks. I like that tortoise.
ReplyDeleteThe sea is always changing, there's always something of interest and beauty according to the weather. I like the green hills too
DeleteI would enjoy walking there.
ReplyDeleteLove that tortoise too. Seems quite friendly!
The views up there are just wonderful. I've only been once. It's a long way.
DeleteLovely place for a walk.
ReplyDeletePeaceful and great scenery!
DeleteWe have a hole that big under one of our trees and yes it’s a rabbit warren
ReplyDeleteIt’s lovely there are people that look after strays. It’s horrid that others dump them
Glad you can get out easily now
I'll tell Danae about the rabbit warren. It is far more likely to be a hare or rabbit. There so many of both around
DeleteI don't remember seeing Tortoises in Greece, but I do remember that every small pond was filled with Turtles.
ReplyDeleteWe often have tortoises wandering around up here in the hills in the summer. Turtles not so often. Some of the islands are known for their turtles
DeleteThat's an impressive clowder of cats, and impressive that someone looks out for them. Aegina apparently has that problem with dogs (abandoned). We like your tortoise very much.
ReplyDeleteClowder of cats. I just love that expression. Like a parliament of owls. Aegina is known for its animal refuge. They look after every animal from eagles to donkeys and yesm loads of dogs.
DeleteThose poor cats. I'm glad someone is taking care of them.
ReplyDeleteLove your tortoise!
There are quite a few people that feed the cats daily. Whne they hear the car or bike all the cats come running out. Can be dangerous when driving down the mountain road. Sometimes a bunch of them will dart out in front of another car or bike. At least they are looked after. Sometimes there is a dog or two but they seem to disappear, having found a home I hope
ReplyDeleteI remember tortoises in Greece. We lived in Kifissia , north of Athens, in the 80's and there were families of tortoises in the garden of a beautiful old but deserted house behind our apartment and we would regularly take our little daughter to see them . Glad you can get out and exercise fairly freely !
ReplyDeleteKifissia is a beautiful suburb. We used to go up there in the 80s and walk with the girls when they were young. And we always went to the flower show.
DeleteSo many foreigners there, they always had unusual things in the supermarket and I'm sure still do.
That view is amazing! I'm glad they sterilise the cats from time to time! There is a stray cat area in Parnell in Auckland too where they are fed etc.
ReplyDeleteLovely place to walk. Sad to hear about the cats being dumped but good they are looked after. Maybe you have giant rabbits?? :-) The tortoise must be confused.
