In this island of a very large building stock inherited by the Italian Occupation, the then Ministry of Hygiene found a way to “solve” the overcrowding in Greece’s public psychiatric hospitals.

In the Cretan villages situated on the base of the Asterousia Mountains, many young women and girls take up the yarn in their hands again and weave.

The Evros Delta

The first pot still functioned in 1901 in D.Makri Street, at the old fish market, and it was placed inside the family shop.

Aegean fishermen

Aegean fishermen are born and bred at sea -their agony and joy as they call it- and so attached to it that sea water seems to be running through their veins.

RoaA

Caravan Project travelled to Idomeni, the main gate through which the refugees continue their journey from Greece to northern Europe and encountered Roaa, a Syrian-Palestinian young girl.
