The Grecians of
Dikili & the Makoron Farmhouse
After the sale of the Dikmeli Farmhouse to Aleko Pandozoplu from
Chios in 1850, many Grecians have come from the islands and settled
to the residential areas around Dikili such as Kabakum and Makoron.
Eventually, Dikili have become the center of trade and agriculture. |

During that era
until the
exchange of the
populations,
Turks and
Grecians have
lived together
within a
cultural
interaction. The
traces of the
era of the front
door talks and
the the
solidarity at
the songs that
have sang in
half
Turkish-half
Greek, they
still live in
the cross
streets of
Dikili, in the
old Greek houses
and in the
Makoron
Farmhouse... |
