Patras - Days neither Patras, nor the rest of Greece has lived before

Due to its geographical proximity to Italy and its busy commercial port, the city of Patras has recently been utilised as a transferring hub in the long journey of many migrants, primarily of Kurdish and Afghani origin. The migrants will arrive to Patras having crossed most of the Turkish mainland, and after boarding modern-day slave ships to cross the Aegean. Alternatively, some will enter Greece via the European Union’s "arrival hall", i.e. crossing the minefields next to river Evros, by the North-eastern Greek border. Those lucky enough to survive will arrive to the city of Patras (or the port city of Igoumenitsa, in the North-East), from where they will try to secretly cling on the back or underneath of one of the lorries boarding the vessels to Italy. From there, they will try to make their way up to Northern European countries (typically Germany or the UK) where they can reunite with relatives and friends.
