A cushion becomes a throne. On the steps of Lefkes rests a red tabby cat, curled up between blue and white. “I must be a goddess” gives a name to its effortless composure: For this moment, the world belongs to it.
Lefkes is located in the mountainous interior of Paros. Narrow alleys and numerous stairs characterize the village—a place to be explored on foot and with time. Photography turns a casual glance into a small portrait of tranquility.
There are also people behind the familiar image of the island cats: The local animal welfare organization PAWS reports that free-roaming cats on Paros are cared for and neutered in colonies. More about the cats of Paros and their care.
