Drimitsa (Δρίμιτσα) Thesprotia

Drimitsa (until 1940 Drymitsa [1]) is a mountain village in the municipality of Igoumenitsa in the prefecture of Thesprotia, Epirus. According to the 2011 census, its population is 10 permanent residents.

General elements

Drimitsa is located 15 km northeast of the prefecture's capital, Igoumenitsa, at an altitude of 450 meters. The settlement is mentioned in the Ottoman census of 1895, according to which it belonged to the Margariti kaza and had 21 families (105 inhabitants, of which 62 men and 43 women [4]). After the Balkan Wars of 1912 - 1913, it was annexed like the rest of Thesprotia to Greece and according to the census conducted by the Greek authorities, it had a population of 152 inhabitants (80 men and 72 women [5]). At the beginning of 1944, during the Occupation, Tsamid residents of Drimitsa (along with Tsamids in other parts of Thesprotia) were equipped by the German military authorities, forming a local doctrinal militia.

Administratively, after the integration into Greece, Drimitsa first came under the subordination of Filiates and Goumenitsis [5] and then came to the province of Thyamidos [1]. In 1997, after the changes of the Kapodistrias plan, it came under the municipality of Parapotamos [1], while from 2011 it belongs to the municipality of Igoumenitsa [3]. Ecclesiastically, it belongs to the Diocese of Paramythia, Filiates, Giromeri and Parga.
