ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The Kuruçeşme district lies in the valley between cape Defterdar Burnu (Kleidion) and the Mega Revma (Arnavutköy) shore. In antiquity, this area was known as Bythias, due to the great depth of the waters there. In the 17th century, it was populated by Greek-Οrthodox and Armenians, as well as many notable Jewish families. In 1804 the Greek Orthodox College (known in Greek as the “Megali tou Genous Scholi”) was moved to Kuruçeşme and housed at the residence of Alexandros Mavrokordatos. |
