Mesopotamia

Few settlements in western Macedonia have a history as closely tied to the resettlement of refugees from Asia Minor and Pontus after the 1923 population exchange as Mesopotamia. Known until 1926 as Dragomista, it stands in the inland plain west of Lake Orestiada, close to Kastoria. The settlement is now part of the Municipality of Kastoria, whose lakeside centre has long been associated with the fur trade. Mesopotamia is a useful reference point for exploring a region of farmland, lakeshore and mountain horizons beyond Greece’s coast-focused routes.
