Neil Mair Photography
Fortezza Companion, Crete, Greece
Cats in Crete provide countless iconic images of Greece and Greek Island life - whole calendars are devoted to them, and you can see prints, photographs and paintings depicting felines of all shapes and sizes, cleverly composed against backgrounds of brightly coloured doors, windows and flower pots, or in the arms of children.
Many visitors to Greece are struck by the sight of legions of cats roaming the streets, dosing in the sun at archaeological sites (as here), and loitering around tavernas looking for a handout. Seen here is the youngest of several who had made one of the few shaded areas of the Fortezza of Rethymno their haunt that afternoon.
