<p>Still early morning over Metochi Lake on Lesvos when the passing Common Raven attracted the local pair of Hooded Crows - one of which decided to dive-bomb the Raven!<br />

Illustrates the size difference between the two species but after a brief scrap (which favoured the larger bird) everyone carried on their regular business.</p>

<p>Today the coastal town of Nafplio is an important tourist destination. Founded in antiquity, the city became an important seaport in the Middle Ages under Frankish rule. Initially held by the de la Roche family following the Fourth Crusade, the territory later came under the control of the Republic of Venice. <br />
<br />
In 1542, the city briefly fell under Turkish rule but was recaptured by the Venetians and served as the capital of the province of Morea under the name "Napoli di Romania" until 1715. During this period, the city was heavily fortified. In 1715, it was conquered by the Turks under Sultan Ahmed III, who perpetrated a massacre of the Greek civilian population and the Venetian soldiers.<br />
<br />
During the Greek Revolution, Nafplio was besieged by Greek revolutionary forces for a year and finally captured in December 1822. From 1829 to 1834, Nafplio served as the capital of modern Greece following independence from the Ottoman Empire. In 1833, the city became the residence of Otto of Bavaria, who became King of Greece. In 1834, the royal court moved to Athens, which has been the Greek capital ever since.<br />
<br />
Agios Nikolaos, dating from 1836, is located near the harbor. However, the façade and the bell towers are later additions.<br />
<br />
The Palamidi Fortress towers high above the city.</p>

<p>The museum houses an extensive collection of artefacts representing early Byzantine culture, that is, the Christianisation that took place at the end of the Roman Empire. These were collected in the Argolis region, of which Argos forms part. <br />

Is this carved graffito linked to superstition? Does it ward off evil, or does it bring misfortune to whoever it is thrown into their garden?</p>

<br />
Athens is the capital and largest city of Greece. A significant coastal urban area in the Mediterranean, Athens is also the capital of the Attica region and is the southernmost capital on the European mainland. With its urban area's population numbering over 3.6 million, it is the eighth-largest urban area in the European Union (EU). The Municipality of Athens (also City of Athens), which constitutes a small administrative unit of the entire urban area, had a population of 643,452 in 2021, within its official limits, and a land area of 38.96 square kilometres (15.04 square miles).<br />
<br />
Athens is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years, and its earliest human presence beginning somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennia BC. According to Greek mythology, the city was named after Athena, the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom, but modern scholars generally agree that the goddess took her name after the city. Classical Athens was one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece. It was a centre for Hellenistic democracy, the arts, education and philosophy, and was highly influential throughout the European continent, particularly in Ancient Rome. For this reason it is often regarded as the cradle of Western civilisation and the birthplace of democracy in its own right independently from the rest of Greece.<br />
<br />
In modern times Athens is a large cosmopolitan metropolis and central to economic, financial, industrial, maritime, political and cultural life in Greece. It is a Beta (+) – status global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is one of the biggest economic centres in Southeast Europe. It also has a large financial sector, and its port Piraeus is both the second-busiest passenger port in Europe and the thirteenth-largest container port in the world. The Athens metropolitan area extends beyond its administrative municipal city limits as well as its urban agglomeration, with a population of 3,638,281 in 2021 over an area of 2,928.717 km2 (1,131 sq mi).<br />
<br />
The heritage of the Classical Era is still evident in the city, represented by ancient monuments, and works of art, the most famous of these being the Parthenon, considered a key landmark of early Western culture. Athens retains Roman, Byzantine and a smaller number of Ottoman monuments, while its historical urban core features elements of continuity through its millennia of history. Athens contains two World Heritage Sites recognised by UNESCO: the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Athens is home to several museums and cultural institutions, such as the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, the Acropolis Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the Benaki Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics, making it one of five cities to have hosted the Summer Olympics on more than one occasion.<br />
