The Refugee Homes of Tsesmes

Our school is located a few kilometres to the east of Rethymno. Refugees from Minor Asia settled in this area in 1922 and gave the place the name of their homeland in Minor Asia: "Tsesmes". The word "Tsesmes" is Turkish and means "source". Some refugee homes still stand in the area, as a live memory of our students' families' history.
