Abstract:
Known in the literary circles of Europe under the pseudonym Dora d’Istria, Princess Helen Gika Koltsof Mavalsky (1828-1868), niece of the Vlachia sovereign Alexander Gikas (1834-1842), had an extensive helleno- centric education her teacher being the celebrated Greek scholar Gr. Papa dopoulos who also served as her guide in a tour in Peloponnese and Roumeli which lasted two months starting on 6/18 July 1860. Her guide, bom in Thessaloniki in 1819, gave her interesting information about enslaved Macedonia especially Western and Central Macedonia and in particular Naoussa (regions which it appears she hadn’t visited previously), about its folklore, the local dress, the inhabitants’ adventures during the 1821 revolution, as well as the revolutionary movement in Chalkidiki. Talking about Naoussa and its women she finds the opportunity to include in her narrative a charming account of a girl, Anthi, 10 years old and her brother, Stergios, 15 years old.
