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.

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?
