Castellorizian Society
of America |
|
|
In 1926, the Castellorizian Benevolent
Society of America was established in New York by a
group of newly-arrived Castellorizians which included
Andreas K Mihalakis, Athanasios K Tsakounis, Nikolaos Y
Karazepounis and Moschos A Paraskevas. With increasing
Castellorizian arrivals, the Society prospered and among
its many activities was an annual ball which was held
each year in the Manhattan Centre in NYC. |

Italian Watercolour |
|
|
In 1943, an Italian export company, Mabo
SA, sponsored the publication of a calendar that
featured 12 watercolours of the Dodecanese islands, then
under Italian dominion. The month of June was adorned by
a charming watercolour of the Kavos promontory by an
unknown artist. It is reproduced here. |

Welcome to CastellorizoHistory.com
Castellorizo, an eastern
Mediterranean island
rich in history and tradition, has links across the globe. CastellorizoHistory.com is a new site intended to assist
those interested in increasing their knowledge of the
island's past. Its aim is also to provide a convenient
forum for discussion about Castellorizian identity, migration and genealogy through time.
This
site
was launched in May 2007 by Nicholas
Pappas of
Sydney, Australia in answer to a number
of requests he had received to establish a forum for
the pooling of information on Castellorizo. The
site is still in early
development and additional features will
be added over time. With the
assistance of contributors worldwide, we
hope to connect those
with Castellorizian heritage from
across
the globe who seek to learn more
about the island of their origins.
