Polichni Municipal Unit

Few urban communities in Macedonia and Thrace have a history as closely tied to the refugee resettlement that followed the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922 as the Municipal Unit of Polichni. Developed on Thessaloniki’s northwestern outskirts, Polichni became part of the municipality of Pavlos Melas in 2011. It occupies the broad urban basin above the Thermaic Gulf, within Thessaloniki’s continuously built-up metropolitan area. The district’s character remains closely connected with the refugee families who established it, a heritage maintained through local community life and commemorations. Polichni also helps explain Thessaloniki’s major 20th-century expansion beyond its historic centre.
