Village of the prefecture of Xanthi; one of the Pomakochoria.

In the Pomak settlements of mountainous Xanthi, a folk tradition surviving to this day refers to a group suicide of young girls during the Ottoman period. According to this tradition, the girls were forced to jump from a high and steep rock, being tied together by each other’s hair, to avoid being captured by the Ottomans. In some versions of this tradition, it is mentioned that in the places where the girls fell, various female objects such as rings were found later.
