History
Pente Vryses was ceded to Greece from the Ottoman Empire in 1913 after the Treaty of Bucharest that ended the Balkan Wars.[3] It was then known as Chatzi Machale (Greek: Χατζή Μαχαλέ) and it was a Turkish village.[4] After the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, its Turkish inhabitants were transferred to Turkey and 131 Pontic Greeks from the village of Zimera (Greek: Τσιμερά, later renamed Atalar) near Trebizond settled there.[5][6] In 1926, Chatzi Machale was renamed to Pente Vryses.[7] After the Axis occupation of Greece in World War II and the following Greek Civil War, many Aromanians from the village of Megala Livadia in the Kilkis regional unit also moved into Pente Vryses.[8]
