Kardia (Καρδιά) Thessaloniki
Kardia is a town in the Municipality of Thermi, in the Regional Unit of Thessaloniki, and a suburb of the city of Thessaloniki. It is located 22 km south of Thessaloniki. In the 2011 census, it had 3,394[1] inhabitants. It was named after Kardia in Eastern Thrace.[2]
Kardia borders Trilofos to the west and Neos Ryssio to the north. To its east lies Ano Scholari, a small settlement with many old ruins from the Ottoman period. To its southeast and at a distance of 5 km lies Kato Scholari.
History
The settlement was inhabited during the Ottoman conquest by Muslim Yoroukous under the name Kara Tsohanli. In 1923, with the exchange of populations, the Muslim residents fled to Turkey and Greek refugees from Eastern Thrace and Bithynia in Asia Minor settled in the area. Specifically, these were 84 families (347 people) coming from Plagiari in the Thracian Gallipoli and 30 families (130 people) from Cesneir in Prusa, in Asia Minor. In 1926 it was renamed Kardia, in memory of the homonymous city in Eastern Thrace. From December 9, 1931 to August 3, 1941, the priest of Kardia was Father Ioannis Papaioannou, who held the title of Sakellarios.
Today it is a town and suburb of Thessaloniki, built amphitheatrically on a hillside and overlooking the city and the Thermaic Gulf.
Volunteers of Kardia
The Volunteers of Kardia have been active since 2017. Much more intense actions with key interventions in visual and other issues of the local community began to take place in the summer of 2020 when the group was significantly strengthened with the addition of new people. You can find the actions of the volunteers on their social media page Kardia Thessaloniki.
Volunteering in Kardia begins a long time ago, when in the 1950s an inspired teacher, Vas. Miaritis, served at the Primary School, on whose initiative and with the voluntary contribution of primary school students, the two hills at the top of the urban complex were planted with trees.
