One of them has a satellite transmitter around its neck and quite a few have white collars marked with the letter “G” (for Greece?) and dual digits. Activities.

Greece is visited by millions of tourists every year (over 19.5 I chose paper.

Here go those moments of curiosity, in no particular order: Europe: And so, I was driving from Greece to Serbia… in central FYRO Macedonia, two birds were circling not far from the motorway… black and white… perhaps White Storks on migration? The bull weighing almost two tones stopped at the edge of the clearing to sniff the air.
