Source: Protagon By Naim Elghandour Διαβάστε στα Ελληνικά Ramadan in Athens for the 37th time. It started on August 11 with the sweltering heat and will end on September 10th. The first days of adjustment are always harder as the rhythms of life do not change despite the fasting from sunrise to sunset. Late evening before August 15th, after having iftar at home, which is the dinner that breaks the fast, I took Sheikh Mohammed, a respectful imam from Al Azhar university to go and pray at Piraeus.
