Canadian winter comes to Raftis

Alex Clapp, renowned Balkan journalist, Athenian resident, and longtime accomplice/friend of BEARS, sent me this photo of Raftis this week with a dusting of snow, which might be of interest to fans of all things Porto Rafti. I dunno how often this happens, but it is comforting to know that even though we in Canada can’t visit Greece right now, at least the Canadian winter made it over for a little R&R on the beaches of eastern Attica.

I’m pretty sure Athens got more snow than Toronto this week, which makes me quite envious! Here the winter has mostly just been cold, grey, and kinda tedious. The view from several months into a city-wide lockdown: something else we have in common with our friends in Athens!
