ANAGNOSTIRIO of Agiasos
For well over a century, the Anagnostirion’s contribution to the cultural enrichment of Agiasos and the isle of Lesvos, along with its social and national contributions whenever the circumstances required them, have left a lasting mark. The Anagnostirion was established during the difficult years of Turkish rule, in 1894, by average citizens that envisioned the “Development” of their homeland. From the very beginning, the Anagnostirion was welcomed by all the people of Agiasos, and under the direction of its inspired leaders it has managed to achieve much and to become known throughout Greece.
The Board of Directors felt obliged to prepare a comprehensive presentation of the town of Agiasos, that wouldn’t be limited to the Anagnostirion per se. As such, it is with heartfelt pleasure and satisfaction that it is implementing an investment plan within the framework of the Comprehensive Programs for the Development of Agricultural Space,that aims to highlight the cultural, historic, folk and environmental identity of Agiasos and the Anagnostirion’s contribution to its development.
Via the development of an website, the creation of a literary archive, the establishment of a multimedia kiosk, various publications and an album accompanied by a cd-rom as well as a music cd, we’re aiming to present and utilize the traditional arts and crafts of Agiasos, as well as the development of its economy and tourism.
We’d like to thank Prokopis Maistrelis and Panagiotis Tsagalos for all their help in collecting and converting into a digital format all the material upon which our publications have been based.
