Karabournaki

Karabournaki is not an organised settlement but an area. In 1925, refugees began to build shacks on an appropriated site (defined by the current Rousidi, Sofouli, Kerasountos, Kallidou, Trapezountos, Karaoli and Grigoriou Kidonion streets) for 490 plots. The refugees used the land for two-storey houses, a church and a school that was erected in 1937 (the First Primary School of Kalamaria). Unlike other settlements, Karabournaki never acquired a distinct identity and functioned as an extension of eastern Thessaloniki and Kalamaria.
