4 min readAbove: In the courtyard of a 17th-century home designed by Leda Athanasopoulou on the Greek island of Patmos, the custom table in reclaimed Dionysos marble is by Thomas Palaios. The neoclassical cement tile flooring was added in the 19th century.The novelist and all-around Grecophile Lawrence Durrell once defined Greek islands as “places where different destinies can meet and intersect in the full isolation of time.” That might sound like a lot of literary hot air, until you visit Patmos. Less than 40 miles from the Turkish coast, Patmos is hardly a traveler’s idea of a daytrip (there’s no airport on the island, and a ferry from the mainland takes seven hours). Its most famous resident? St. John, who wrote the Book of Revelation while in exile at the end of the 1st century. And y...

A nation’s international power does not rely solely on the extent of its hard power and strength of its military. Other indicators, such as energy control and efficiency, can greatly influence its position in the international arena. Last week, Greece hosted the sixth Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation Summit—a signal that Athens aims to be at the center of Europe’s energy future. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the E.U. and neighboring countries have been forced to look for alternative solutions to meet the energy demands previously filled by Russian pipelines. As sanctions against Moscow expanded, liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports and imports have become a leading means through which much of Europe now receives energy. Although LNG has worked as a temporary solution...

Spain, Italy, Greece, and Cyprus have been considered "under migratory pressure" by the European Commission in its first Annual Asylum and Migration Report, unveiled on Tuesday. These countries were interested last year in a "disproportionate level" of migrant arrivals, including those rescued at sea. Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus will therefore benefit in 2026 from the solidarity of other EU member states, which could be expressed by relocating asylum seekers over their territory or by financial contribution. Together with this assessment, the Commission proposed to the EU 27 member states the Annual Solidarity Pool, a mechanism to determine the total number of asylum seekers to be relocated and the amount each country should allocate, or to compensate for by paying.
