Afisian Diaspora. Migration & Forced Displacement
Like seeds carried by the wind, they spread to every corner of the earth
USA
From 1904 onward, the dream of a better life led many people from Afisia to America. For many of them, that journey became a permanent destination, and they never returned home
Lavrio
Not everyone followed the path of exile for a second time. Some chose to remain in Lavrio, where they built a new life
Neos Pyrgos
Several families who had remained in Lavrio later attempted to settle in Sarti, but by then it was too late. As a result, they eventually settled in Neos Pyrgos, on the island of Euboea
Other families found new homes in various parts of Greece (Komotini, Edessa, Thessaloniki), while others continued their journey even farther, leaving descendants in every corner of the world (United States, Australia, France, Germany)
