Abstract:
In this article we engage in a research in the historical course of the village Zouzouli of Kastoria from 1390 to 1981. Due to the lack of evidence about Zouzouli for the first years of the Turkish rule, the information is taken primarily from the general history of continental Greece and secondly from the oral tradition.Most of the village’s inhabitants, possibly founded in circa 1390, must have been exterminated by the revengeful force of the Turks after the end of the revolt of the bishop Dionysios the Skylosophos in 1611.Those who survived must have either been victims of the plague in the middle of the 18C, or they must have abandoned the village because of the heavy taxes imposed by powerful bey for their protection from the Albanian brigands. The owner of the already deserted village, possibly Zoulfikiar bey Daout bey, arranged for its resettlement in 1793 of people working in his farm.In the second part we examine in detail the participation of the vill gers in the struggles of Greece for freedom, while in the third we mention the events that led to the desertion of the village because of the landslides, and the settling of the majority of its inhabitants in the nearby town of Kastoria and in Tsotili of Kozani.
