Alatsata - Grčka u Turskoj

Ne, nije Grčka. U pitanju je Turska, ali grčki grad.

U pitanju je jedinstveni mediteranski grad na zapadnoj obali Turske.

Alačati, a na grčkom Alatsata je grad u kojem je živelo grčko stanovništvo do 1914. godine. Ovaj grad je u to vreme imao skoro 14 000 stanovnika, od kojih svega nešto više od 100 Turaka.

Nakon što je kompletno grčko stanovništvo proterano ili razmenjeno sa turskim stanovništvom iz Grčke u gradu su ostale prazne kuće…

Danas je Alatsata jedan od najlepših i najpopularnijih gradova u Turskoj, sa predivnom obalom, vrlo čistim i tirkiznim morem i razvijenim turizmom. Nekoliko puta je proglašavan za najbolju turističku destinaciju u Turskoj.

Japanci su snimili dokumentarni film o istoriji ovog grada, nakon čega je postao izuzetno posećen od strane japanskih turista.

Jedne godine je zauzeo visoko 8. mesto na listi najboljih svetskih destinacija New York Times-a.

Uske kaldrmisane ulice, tipične grčke tradicionalne kuće, kombinacija plavo - bele boje i mnogo cveća - jednom rečju Grčka!

Kuće koje su pre 100 godina pripadale Grcima sada su zaštićene i ostaće tu da zauvek podsećaju na stara vremena…

Grci koji su izbegli iz ovog lepo grada, naseljavali su se širom Grčke pa sada u nekoliko opština (Atina, Halkis, Iraklionn na Kritu) postoje mesta koja su osnovale izbeglice iz Alatsate i sva imaju isto ime - Nova Alatsata, a Mala Alatsata postoji i u Americi (Bostonu) i Australiji i ova naselja su takođe osnovale izbeglice iz Alatsate u Izmiru.

Both maternal grandparents were born in Alatsata in the 1880’s. Family names Mihalarou, Michalaros, Stiliaras, Tzirves, Girves. All immigrated to the US by 1916 but I believe left Alatsata to Chios by 1914. My Stilaras great grandmother lived in Chios or Greece until the 1840’s. Any information very much appreciated. For those of you that want information on our Alatsata families that immigrated to the US - get the book AFTER ALATSATA

Our family has uncovered a very old pistol engraved with our family’s name of Antonios Makrokanis (English translation of the name). It has Alatsata, Epyopaia, Xepeon (or Xeplion) and a swirled design or insignia on it. Via translation it appears to have been made in Asia. Anyone? Thanks.

My grandparents lived in Alatsata, Turkey and were of Greek descent. My grandfather’s name was Nicholas James Faskianos. Is there a way to find out if there are any descendants who still might live there?

My grandmother was born in Alaçati. Her name (before marriage) was Lambrini Kasomenou. After 1914 or 1922 she established in Alexandria and later in Athens. I know that a part of the family installed in Kokkinia Athens and some of them in Australia. Best regards. Yannis Vlachos from Paris France
