Data
Ioannis Giannakopoulos, Saranda Ekklisies [Turkish Kırklareli] (Thessaloniki 1994) is a book about the recent history of a town situated at the North of the East Thracian plain, in European Turkey, c. 70 kilometers east of Adrianople / Edirne. Kırklareli had an important Greek Orthodox community until the Exodus of 1922 which is the subject of Giannakopoulos’s research; mainly during the Late Ottoman period, 1800-1922, and the first years of the Refugee period. The writer is not a historian but a devoted patriot who studied archives and other sources, collected information and took photographs of many relics, went to his motherland for field work and published an honest book. Total pages 232.
