greek-turkish friendsship

THE children of the Greeks who emigrated to the Kavala district of Greece in an exchange scheme after the Independence War are due to arrive to Didim to see where their ancestors lived and visit their homes.

Mayor Mümin Kamacı said that Kavala and Didim would become sister cities. He said: “Improving such relations will earn Didim tourism and our people.”

A special programme has been prepared for the Greeks.

About 70 Greeks will arrive in Didim on Wednesday April 2 at 8pm. 

On Thursday April 3, the Greeks will visit the houses of their ancestors and at 7.30pm, the documentary “Asia Minor” about the period of exchange will be shown at the wedding hall.

On Friday April 4, there will be a tour to Ephesus, Virgin Mary's House, Priene and Miletos. 

On the same day the protocol for being a sister city will be signed. 

There will be a farewell dinner held at Kamacı 3 Restaurant, where songs in Greek and Turkish will be sung.
