Religion

There were quite a few mosques and churches.  The churches looked to me (a remarkably unreligious person) a lot more like the mosques than I was expecting.  Some of the Orthodox Christians were praying loudly over loudspeakers at assorted times of day. Until someone corrected me, I had assumed they were Muslims praying.

I also saw religious services taking place out in an open area under some trees.

Because of my short stay, I did not have the opportunity to participate in any religious services.   I would recommend that everyone, even if you are not normally religious, seek out a service to attend.
