A day for roads, crosswalks, signals, ferry landings, station platforms, and the care people owe one another in motion.
The patron day of Greek letters and education. Schools hold celebrations, children recite poems, and every teacher reminds their students that Greek is the oldest living language in Europe, which is technically true and which every Cypriot will tell you within the first five minutes of meeting you.
You encounter Mediterranean monk seals, Cretan wild goats, and various hawk and eagle species across Greece's islands and mainland. You see that Greek households most commonly keep dogs and cats, with many families also keeping songbirds in cages.
