My book newly published
At the end of the year 2024, I have just published in Greek and with Stamoulis publishing in Thessaloniki, my essay on contemporary history: “The daily life of Greek soldiers during the First World War and the Greco-Turkish War in Asia Minor (1917-1922)”, a work in the series “Texts and Studies” under the aegis of the Philological Historical Folkloric Association FILOS of Trikala – Φιλολογικός Ιστορικός Λογοτεχνικός Σύνδεσμος Τρικάλων.

The Other Great War
In Greece and the Balkans, the memory of the Great War is first and foremost synonymous with its essentially Macedonian front, when it is not erased by the memory of later conflicts… or future ones, depending on your point of view.

Due north
Traveling is to be amazed, to grasp what is still possible to learn in order to reflect on it, and then to be amazed! Leaving Athens quickly, we therefore left for the north of the country and its region, as much cultural as natural, of Greek Macedonia.

The Evzones
Who among the visitors to Athens has not sent an illustrated postcard of an Evzone, literally ’the one who wears his belt well’, or has not directly photographed this legendary Hellenic Presidential Guard, traditionally dressed in its short-flared petticoat, fustanelle and its pompom shoes. Emblematic figures of Greek national folklore and at the same time a historical elite body, the Evzones are the appointed epigones of the klephtes, literally the thieves, these bandits – supporters of the Greek War of Independence from 1821 to 1830, liberating the country from the yoke of the Ottoman Empire.
