A portrait of the Samothracian cat

Cats are everywhere in Samothrace. When you sit down in a taverna, they'll pop up suddenly and they'll snuggle up to you, greeting you with a wink. Scraps of food are appreciated and a sureway to make a friend for the next hour. If a cat appears, you can be sure more will follow. One moment you are alone, the next you realize that you've been surrounded by cuteness.

Don't think they'll shy away from jumping into your lap and taking a quick bite out of your plate. By the way, if you book a room on the first floor and leave your balcony door open, don't be surprised if in the morning you'll find a furry friend by your bed. It happened to us more than once.
