Walking in the Old Village of Nea Karya... Following our gradparents' footsteps! (Greece, Nea Karya Primary School)

 
    Students of Nea Karya Primary School, as part of the program, visited the location of the old village of Nea Karya (known as Karampei) in order to transfer and expand into the field all the useful information and knowledge gained through their investigation so far.
    The students wandered in the neighborhoods where people from Karya and Karampei used to live and walked along the old riverbed of Nestos River, having as guides two local residents of the village who were fortunate enough to live in both the old and the new village, Mr. Adalakis Eleutherios and Mr. Poulouktsis Stelios. They visited the little church of Zoodochou Pigi, which was later built on the location of the church of the old village. While exploring the courtyard of the church they found parts of the old church, the stairs and the mosaic on the landing, which are preserved until today. The students tried and visualised the Old Village square, and by crosschecking information gathered by interviews, old photos and maps they found the location of the community centre, the stone house of Kara Mpei (the area was named after him) where the first school of the village was housed for a few years until the regular school building was constructed. Students also tried and visualised the location of the legendary mulberry tree, which offered its shadow to everyday people’s meetings. They traced the location of not only the Christian cemeteries but also of the Turkish ones (which existed before Greek people set up in that area) and the area that the school was, but only its ruins have remained. Lastly their look wandered to the boundaries of the village, making the necessary comparisons between the old and the new village so as to identify similarities and differences as far as the size of the area, the street layout and their morphology are concerned. We warmly thank our two guides Mr. Lefteris and Mr. Stelios for their overall contribution to our research, including the amount of materials they have spared and the significant amount of personal time they have dedicated in our effort.
    It was a valuable experience, as we were given the opportunity to follow the footsteps of our grandparents, and look from a different angle the place that we usually visit but ignore its history.
    For more information related to the history of Nea Karya you could refer to the website “Historical Sources” of the blog.
