The municipality

Kalamaria (The good side)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).

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.

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).

The commercial spirit, the creativity and the culture of the first refugees - inhabitants, the fame of the place as a

place fo recreation and excursions greatly influenced the economic

development of the whole area. At the same time there is an extensive

cultural and social development in the area with the activities of local

cultural and social institutions but mainly with the activities and

initiatives of the cultural centre of the Municipality.
