Villages of Aegean Macedonia

Photographs from the society's Deca Begalci project: the villages and landscapes of Aegean Macedonia, together with related scenes from the wider region.

This collection was gathered through the society's Deca Begalci project. Most photographs show the villages of Aegean Macedonia — many of them renamed under Greek administration after 1913 — as well as the towns, lakes and mountains around them. A number of images reach further afield, to places connected with the story of the region and its people, including the Republic of Macedonia, Albania and Bulgaria. The companion document on the Macedonian Children of the Greek Civil War article lists the 804 villages whose names were changed.
