Geraki Weaving Collective | Part 11: Geraki in the 20th Century

Throughout its history as a village, Geraki has confronted economic fluctuations and challenges arising from wars. During difficult periods, villagers have often migrated in search of better opportunities. Over time, the Geraki community has extended its presence to various regions in Greece and other countries, including the United States. Expatriates from Geraki occasionally contribute to the village, supporting its prosperity and well-being.
With thanks to the Cultural Society of Geraki, the Ephoreia of Antiquities of Lakonia, the Municipality of Evrotas, and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
