Place of memory

Makedonitissa Tomb and military memorial

We include the memorial complex for a discussion of conflicts after independence and the events of 1974.

1964 and 1974

The memorial is connected with fallen servicemen and with the Noratlas aircraft brought down by friendly fire in 1974.

Before visiting with older children, we explain that this is not an attraction but a place of mourning and national memory.

At the site we focus on specific reference points: the Noratlas memorial, rows of graves, military emblems and a map of events.
