DESCRIPTION

This activity is only available in the Greek language.

A historical stroll in Pagrati that transports us to the WWII era. Starting with the arrival of the Asia Minor refugees, we attempt to examine the character of the neighbourhood, the people who lived there, and their relationships with the new inhabitants.

We witness the development of the first resistance centers, the key figures who played leading roles, clashes between ELAS and the X organization, and we explore some of the main events that defined daily life during the Nazi Occupation of Pangrati.

After the walk, we will view photographs from that era and discuss individuals who influenced the neighborhood.
