Ktinotrofika

Ktinotrofika consists of an elongated zone, one or two city blocks wide, surrounded by Aegean, Pontou, Theodosioupoleos and Chaldias streets. The development of this zone became possible after the demolition of buildings erected by the British and the French who came to Macedonia during the First World War. The process began in 1935 and was completed in three years. It was the last phase of the construction of the refugee settlement of Kalamaria before the outbreak of the Second World War. The district got its name (ktinotrofika means stock-farming in Greek) from the numerous farmers and stockbreeders from the Caucasus who settled here.
