When in Instanbul, we saw many stray dogs, all of whom had tags in their ears. They were all large dogs and all well behaved and friendly.
This is the case in Athens as well. Our food tour guide told us that the dogs are collected, neutered and vaccinated before being released. They all seemed to be healthy and well fed. Shop and property owners allow them to take shelter out of the rain.

More dogs sleeping in whatever dry space they can find. I like the fact that they seem to be tolerated even on hotel steps or in shops.

It was rainy, so the real street cats were out of sight in dry hideouts.
So, these were the only kitties we saw.
The dogs, however, were more conspicuous in their attempts to get out of the rain.
The Acropolis ticket office offered some dry shelter.
This one settled in near a store doorway.
