To mark Greece’s national anniversary on 25 March, journalist Katerina Batzaki traveled to Mavrommati in Karditsa—the birthplace of Georgios Karaiskakis.
A place that does not simply tell history—it embodies it. A restless, contradictory and deeply human hero, who continues to raise questions about freedom and responsibility.
In this episode, we opened a meaningful conversation about memory, identity, and how a place transforms the past into the present.
Guests:
- Dominikos Verilis, former Mayor of Karditsa & President of the “Friends of History of Karditsa” Association
- Dimitris Giotis, President of the Cultural Association of Mavrommati “Karaiskakis”
- Theofanis Stathis, Mayor of Mouzaki
We spoke about a place that remembers—but above all, continues.
And about a history that does not belong to the past, but to those who keep it alive.
