History
The town was known as Τσατάλτζα - Tsataltza,[2] until renamed in 1927. During World War I from 1916 to 1918 the town was occupied by Bulgarian troops and the local men were shipped out to concentration camps in Bulgaria. Conditions there were very poor and less than a third of them survived.[3][not in citation given]
During World War II, the occupying Axis powers executed a number of people in Choristi as "terrorists" or "resistance fighters" or their sympathizers, this came to be known as the "Choristi Massacre".[4][5]
