In 1922 Greeks who lived in Asia Minor (Turkey) for centuries were forced to leave their houses and come to Piraeus. Their adventure was like a Ancient Greek tragedy. The tour shows how refugees of the Asia Minor Catastrophe survived in Piraeus. We visit all the important places in the port ,in Drapetsona, and Nikaia. We visit industrial places, abandoned mansions, historical monuments, and churches. We eat at a tavern with Greek Minor Asia food.
Today, the Asia Minor Refugees are acknowledged as a primal part of the Greek culture that enriched it with their vigor and virtues.
