Beyond the Islands
Greece, far from the islands, is often a revelation. We get rid of the clichés, we forget the crowds and sometimes… we even get away from the earthquakes and first of all from the disastrous din of mass tourism. As for example in Thessaly, my homeland, which is more in the middle of winter.

Deep Thessaly
In Greece, in the heights of recent years, goats have become increasingly rare, as have cattle. This is the almost new situation in Western Thessaly, on the Pindus massif as well as on the plains. And as for men… Greek land!

Ottoman census
As good historians, we do not at all wipe the slate clean of the past. In Greece, more particularly in Thessaly for our “local” case, we hardly forget, for example, the very long and trying period of Ottoman occupation, generally between 1420 and 1881, the year in which Thessaly was attached to the contemporary Hellenic State. Just as we do not omit in this regard to mention, or even to directly question, if possible, the direct Ottoman sources.
