• Resumen

  • This case study briefly chronicles the history of illegal immigration during the last two decades through the gateway to Western Europe via the port of Patras, Greece. It provides information about the city as a means of understanding its orientation and ability to deal with the consequences of increased illegal, albeit transient, immigration while focusing on the experiences of the illegal migrants and the conditions under which they have lived during their sojourn in the city.
