Mesopotamos
Spread the word
Mesopotamos came from the union of two settlements, the settlement of Veli or Veli Pera and the settlement of Romyni or Old Romyri.
Romyri, a settlement from the Second Venetian era, due to the inaccessibility of the area that it was built, was the hiding place of many people of the Resistance during the German Occupation. For the same reason, in the years that followed, because the road network was in poor condition and even in the 1970s the village was not yet electrified, it was decided in 1974 with a presidential decree to transfer the inhabitants to a lower location. It was that time that the Mesopotamos community was formed in a merger with the village of Veli.
