Greece was invaded by Slavs in the Middle Ages, who were gradually Hellenized as the Byzantine Empire regained control.
But what were their languages like, does anyone know? There was a Slavophone presence in the Peloponnese near Laconia as recently as 1500. What was this language like?
This map shows the Ottoman census from 1881 in the Vilayet of Selanik. Several kazas/counties either have Bulgarian majority or plurality. What happened to them?
It was noticed by this guy on Twitter: he suspects that it has something to do with the Dream Team: https://twitter.com/tchuqo/status/1396258418168635393 If you want to check it yourself you can see it at the bottom of this page. There is no way that this is a coincidence, where all jurors collectively have the same opinion: https://eurovision.tv/event/rotterdam-2021/second-semi-final/results/bulgaria
Have there been more suspicious jury results? I try my best to convince people that a jury in some form (not the current form obviously) is needed to filter out all the bad (joke) entries. But the jurors and the EBU make it very hard to keep the credibility of the contest high if they keep allowing these clear signs. It's such a shame, and could definitely harm the contest more if the EBU doesn't take serious measures.
Hello, Greek redditors! I have 6 days in the beginning of September planned for a trip by car to Greece. My previous destination will be Sofia, Bulgaria so I am considering something not too far from there.
I've already been a couple of times to Thessaloniki and Sithonia on Chalkidiki, last year we drove from Thessaloniki to Lefkada (which is beautiful) and now we are thinking of something new. Lemnos and Skiathos were the preffered destinations but given the tight schedule with only 6 days and the fact that ferries in September mostly tour only every couple days we decided on something logistically simpler - Thassos or Pelion.
I would be extremely happy if I can get some insiders opinion on both regions. My impression is that Thassos is kinda popular and crowded and we are looking for a place with less people and chill beaches, maybe also some hiking. Pelion was completely unkown for me until a few days ago and it looks like there are a few beautiful beaches but is it worth the ~7 h drive?
Many thanks in advance and have a great and healthy summer!
