11. The municipality

12. Kalamaria (The good side)
The municipality of Kalamaria is
located in the East and South East
part of the city of Thessaloniki.
Kalamaria was one of the gates of
the walls surrounding Thessaloniki
in old times and the name is
possibly a paraphrase of the term
kali meria (the good side).

13. Kalamaria (The good side)
It was in 1943 that the
Municipality was first founded.
It covers a total extent of
7.200.000 sq.m. and it has a
population of about 100.000
people. It is considered as the
second largest Municipality in
polulation after the one of
Thessaloniki, and most of the
place is perimetrically
surrounded by the sea.

14. Kalamaria (The good side)
The inhabitants are mainly
refugees from the areas of
Caucasus, the Black sea, Asia
Minor, Consatantinople and
Eastern Thrace. The
Municipality is divided in ten
regions and some of them have
names of the unforgettable
Homeland (New Trapezous,
Karabournaki, Aretsou,
Byzantium).

15. Kalamaria (The good side)
The commercial spirit, the creativity
and the culture of the first refugees
- inhabitants, the fame of the place
