Zaloggos

The so-called "Dance of Zalongos" is one of the most shocking events in the modern history of Greece. According to history in 1803, after the treaty they concluded with Ali Pasha, the Souliotes were forced to leave their place. Ali Pasha, however, broke his word and pursued the Souliotes, reaching the Monastery of Zalongos, where the women and children had taken refuge. In the face of the danger of captivity, 63 Souliotisses committed a group suicide, falling from the rock "Stefani" while dancing, after first throwing the babies they had in their arms. The fame of this moving incident reached all over Turkish-occupied Greece, but also Europe, gaining the admiration and support of the enslaved Greeks. Today, an imposing monument 18 meters long and 13 meters high stands on a stone base honouring the heroic Souliotisses.
