Yesterday, the Krithia Association of Australia proudly stood alongside fellow Greek associations to celebrate and commemorate the day that marks Greece’s independence from Ottoman rule in 1821.

This day also coincides with the feast of the Annunciation (Evangelismos), one of the most significant days in the Orthodox calendar. The message of hope and renewal embodied in the Annunciation became a powerful symbol for the Greek people, aligning faith with the struggle for freedom.

It is in moments like these that we reflect on the sacrifices of our ancestors, who fought for the freedom of our homeland and for future generations. Their courage and resilience continue to guide us today, reminding us of the responsibility we carry to honour their legacy and keep our history alive.

While this post is coming through a little late, it is still worth sharing 🇬🇷

Just over two weeks ago we spent the weekend at the Antipodes Festival, connecting with so many members of our wider Greek community. From meeting people who descend from Krithia unbeknownst to our association, to sharing stories, conversations and a sense of pride in our heritage and shared experiences with other Greek associations within the community, it was a truly special experience.

We’re grateful for the connections made and the reminder of how far our community reaches, especially when united by history, culture, and goals for the future.

The Krithia Association of Australia embraces the message “Strength in Unity” as the Melbourne community sets ambitious goals and initiatives for 2026.

01/03/2026

Krithia (Gallipoli), or Palia (Old) Krithia, stood with resilience in the same location for 2,000 years, enduring different regimes, from its earliest recording in the Books of Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemy) in around 100 AD, listing Krithia as 1 of the 4 Athenian settlements on the Thracian Peninsula, to Venetian, Byzantine, and Catalan rules, to the ANZAC battles in 1915, which along with the Asia Minor Catastrophe in 1922, resulted in the eventual uprooting of its people. For millenia, Greek Orthodox families lived there before the turmoil of the early 20th century — war, deportations, and the population exchange — forced many to leave their ancestral homes.

Today, their descendants live across Greece, Australia, and beyond, carrying with them memories, faith, and stories of resilience. History reminds us not only of suffering, but of survival and identity that endures through generations.

Day 1 of Antipodes has been a blast so far! We are so excited to meet you all at our Stall K15 ☺️ If you are wondering where we are, watch the video on the next slide to find us!

From the fields of Gallipoli to our community here in Melbourne, the story of Krithia is one of resilience and remembrance.

Come and speak with our committee to learn about our history, our ANZAC connection, and how our new dance group is creating the next chapter in our Association.
