Five years ago, Greece offered hospitality to a huge wave of migrants at the height of the Syrian civil war -- but today, hostility greets those seeking a new life.
Nearly a million refugees made it to Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, just kilometres (miles) off the
Turkish coastline, in the 2015 exodus, and the majority trekked on to mainland Europe.
Last time round, "people hoped that the leftist government of Alexis Tsipras, with his humane view on refugees, was going to halt austerity," Filippa Chatzistavrou, professor of political science at Athens University, told AFP.
