history

Arnavutköy ( Arnavut Turkish for Albanians, köy Turkish for village) had a predominantly Greek population in 1923. In this respect, recent history is shaped by the population exchange after 1923, which was regulated in the Treaty of Lausanne . The Greeks, who previously lived in large numbers in Arnavutköy, left Turkey. The main road to Edirne plays another important role. It was an important link to Western Europe during the Ottoman Empire and thus determined the development of Arnavutköy. The name of the place comes from this time.
