WATCH: #BNNGreece Reports.
Thousands of people gather to pay their last respects to Constantine II, Greece's last King, before his funeral in Athens.
The former monarch's coffin was brought to a small chapel at the Metropolitan Cathedral in Athens early on January 16th, 2023.
People had already formed a line to bid farewell to the man who had ruled Greece for nearly ten years.
Many people arrived before the sun came up to ensure that they could pass by his coffin. Some carried Greek flags, while others carried photos of Constantine and flowers. At 6 a.m., the doors to the chapel were opened to mourners.
Constantine II died in Athens on January 10, 2023. Within hours, the Greek government decided there would be no state funeral, despite the fact that former heads of state are usually accorded this honour.

BREAKING: #BNNGreece Reports.
A picturesque Greek island is leading the way toward an eco-friendly community thanks to wind and solar energy as well as an 85 percent recycling rate.
Greece may be more recognized for its ancient civilization, but the Dodecanese archipelago's GR-eco project on a number of Greek islands is drawing attention as a sustainable model to emulate.
Locals and visitors have welcomed the environmental strategy, which has also been made feasible by significant funding from the European Union (EU).
Tilos, which is located between the Greek islands of Nisyros and Rhodes, is the setting for numerous ground-breaking initiatives. It could be considered a futuristic island.

In the latest European protests over rising living costs and inflation, workers in Greece went on strike on Wednesday, disrupting transportation, forcing flight cancellations, and shutting down public services.
Thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece, where workers were on strike for 24 hours.
Small groups of protesters broke away from the main march at the end of both cities' demonstrations to throw Molotov cocktails and rocks at police, who responded with tear gas and stun grenades. The clashes, according to officials, were over in a matter of minutes.
One officer was injured in Athens, two people were arrested in the capital, and eight more were arrested in Thessaloniki, according to police.
The strike disrupted services throughout the country, with ferries stuck in port, cutting off connections to Greece's islands, state-run schools closed, public hospitals operating with reduced staff, and most public transportation shut down.
