In certain parts of Greece, they are able to easily find food, shelter, and water, and they are often helped by the kindness of humans.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-greek-island-has-most-cats\"><\/span>Which Greek island has most cats?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Santorini is home to an unbelievable number of stray cats much like the famous Japanese &#39;cat island&#39; of Tashirojima. The island is awash with blue domed Byzantine churches rounding off white villages that look they have been painted by cubist architects then decorated with bougainvillea and cats.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-animals-live-in-santorini\"><\/span>What animals live in Santorini?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As for the fauna, there are no wild animals in Santorini, just the common homebred animals and some typical birds of Greece, including seagulls, swallows, common quails, rock doves, house sparrows, small owls and other birds that are less commonly spotted.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-cats-common-in-greece\"><\/span>Are cats common in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cats of Greece \u2013 cats are commonplace in Greece. They are well taken care of by the community and very friendly. You can even pet them if you wish! Here are some of the cats we found in Poros, Epidavros, N\u00e1fplio, and Hydra.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-in-greece-has-the-most-cats\"><\/span>Where in Greece has the most cats?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Santorini Island Another gorgeous island that is home to a large number of strays is Santorini. These kitties are taken care of by the residents and visitors as well as the Santorini-cats rescue group.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-there-so-many-cats-in-santorini\"><\/span>Why are there so many cats in Santorini?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So why are there so many cats in Greece? Most cats you&#39;ll encounter on the streets of Greece are strays. The mild winters help them survive the colder months, and in certain areas of Greece, the people take it upon themselves to offer the neighborhood cats food, water, and shelter.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-cats-a-problem-in-greece\"><\/span>Are cats a problem in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The country has one of the largest stray feline and canine populations in the world, with the problem becoming ever more acute during the country&#39;s prolonged debt crisis. Animal rights activists estimate that Athens alone may have as many as 2 million street cats and dogs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-ok-to-pet-stray-cats-in-greece\"><\/span>Is it OK to pet stray cats in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Disease in cats is a non-issue in Greece and has been since 1970. So while you don&#39;t have to worry about contracting rabies when you go to pet a cat, many cats have fleas or the cat flu, so it is always good to wash your hands after petting a cat.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happens-to-the-cats-in-greece\"><\/span>What happens to the cats in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Greece and the Greek islands are inundated with stray, abandoned and feral cats. The majority of them are born in the spring and survive through the kindness of tourists who feed them. At the end of the summer season the tourists leave, and some cats survive through the kindness of local Greeks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-take-a-stray-cat-home-from-greece\"><\/span>Can I take a stray cat home from Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you take a shine to a specific cat that you&#39;d like to bring back from Greece then it might be a little tricky. Stray cats come under the authority of local municipalities, and you would need their permission to adopt a stray from the street.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-there-so-many-strays-in-greece\"><\/span>Why are there so many strays in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Among the many problems brought on by the Greek debt crisis is a surging population of stray dogs. Animal charities say there are now more than a million strays in Greece because people are simply abandoning pets they can no longer afford to keep.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-greek-cats-have-rabies\"><\/span>Do Greek cats have rabies?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There is no record of rabies in cats in Greece since the 1970s.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-fleas-in-greece\"><\/span>Are there fleas in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ctenocephalides felis was found on 97.4&#37; of the cats and 40.3&#37; of the dogs surveyed. Of the other flea species, with much lower prevalence, Pulex irritans (0.8&#37;) and Xenopsylla cheopis (0.8&#37;) were observed only on the dogs. Seventeen dogs (13.2&#37;) and one cat (2.6&#37;) had mixed infestations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-cats-everywhere-in-greece\"><\/span>Are there cats everywhere in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cats of Greece \u2013 cats are commonplace in Greece.

It is also considered praise. You are expected to tip when service has been good. You are expected to pay a bigger tip when service has been exceptional or especially pleasing to you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-many-cats-are-in-greece\"><\/span>How many cats are in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Number of cats in Greece 2010-2020 The cat population in Greece was measured at approximately 600 thousand in 2020.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-there-rabies-in-greece\"><\/span>Is there rabies in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No cases of rabies in animals have been detected since 2014 and Greece is therefore now considered to be no risk for rabies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-there-stray-cats-in-greece\"><\/span>Why are there stray cats in Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In contrast with Northern Europe and the United States, where cats are expected to belong to someone or they are often considered a nuisance, stray cats are regarded as a natural co-habitant in Greece. They truly are community cats! The temperate climate and abundance of food makes it easy for them to survive.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-safe-is-santorini\"><\/span>How safe is Santorini?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Is Santorini safe to visit in 2021? Yes, Santorini is a very safe destination. Of course, there are risks everywhere and Santorini has its share of freak accidents: falling rock, aggressive donkeys, crazy young guys on ski jets. And like everywhere the biggest risk in Santorini is vehicle accidents.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-should-i-be-careful-in-santorini\"><\/span>What should I be careful in Santorini?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>8 Things Tourists Should Never Do in Santorini<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-drink-tap-water-in-santorini-greece\"><\/span>Can you drink tap water in Santorini Greece?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Can You Drink Santorini Tap Water? Although tap water is technically permitted in Santorini, most restaurants do not provide it. The island&#39;s health authorities recommend that you always purchase bottled water and not drink from the tap whenever possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-snakes-on-santorini\"><\/span>Are there snakes on Santorini?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Locals say that Sanotrini has venomous snakes, but I just received an update from herpetofauna.gr, that in fact there are only two snakes on Santorini, the Leopard Snake (Zamenis situla) and the Cat Snake (Telescopus fallax). The animal of the photo is a Cat Snake. Both of them are completely harmless to humans.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-scorpions-in-santorini\"><\/span>Are there scorpions in Santorini?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Scorpions. Although a relatively small insect in size, the scorpion has a worldwide reputation for being a dangerous animal with a vicious sting. Surprisingly, these tiny creatures inhabit some of Greece&#39;s most bustling areas such as Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-walk-everywhere-in-santorini\"><\/span>Can you walk everywhere in Santorini?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are actually several villages on the island, which are all quite far from each other (by that I mean that you would not be able to walk everywhere) so pick your location well!
