Geographical - Historical information
Vrysaki is located near the border with the Regional Unit of Pella, in the Aliakmonas plain and north of the river at an altitude of 14 meters[3]. The village is approximately 4 km. S.-S.W. from Alexandria (seat of the municipality), 23 km. S. from Giannitsa and 54 km. W. from Thessaloniki (via Chalkidoni) while the Alexandreia - Kozani National Road passes through the southern edge of the village. Its old name, during the Ottoman period, is Resiani[4] or Resaini or Resena, while its current name is due to the stone fountain that existed at the intersection for the Island. The patron church is the Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos, which belongs to the Holy Metropolis of Naoussa, Veria and Kampania.[5]
It is mentioned from the period of the Ottoman occupation and was located south of the lake-marsh of Giannitsa, which was drained in 1932 - 1936, while historically it is included in the villages of the Roumlouki region.[6] Alexander Sinve (in the book "Les Grecs de l' Empire Ottoman. Etude Statistique et Ethnographique") in 1878 wrote that 108 Greeks lived in Resiani of the Diocese of Kampania.[7]
