To ghost village of Psiloritis

On the southern slopes of the Psiloritis mountain between the villages of Zaros and Vorizia, located
the village of 'ghost'. An abandoned, for decades, settlement, that seems to have stopped the clock time, on a specific date.
The architecture, the symmetry of the buildings, the homogeneity, the mass abandonment with sealed doors and Windows with stones, show that this place has a story to tell us ...
Here we go 72chronia back when the area was Habitat of the resistance group of Petrakogiwrgi and fighting for our freedom from the German occupiers. He was August 15th 1943 (day of the Virgin Mary) When his team was giving Petrakogiwrgi bloody battle in nearby location Trachili. The Germans had large losses and erupted in fury and brutality them a few days after, on August 26 in the village Vorizia, who killed and executed residents, the burned down, the bombed razing it and drove out those who were left alive!!
After the liberation, the reconstruction Ministry built a few hundred yards from the burned-out Vorizia, the village of 'ghost' to move the residents there and named it New Vorizia.
This village never inhabited and the borizianoi rebuilt the Vorizia on the ashes of their flattened village.
The New vorizia still there like a ghost village, to remind us that freedom, independence and pride, donated but not conquered..
