| Most areas of Greece were in turmoil because of war during these centuries. This combined with the
outbreak of piracy in the Mediterranean, contributed to further settlement on
the island. Throughout this period several Greek families moved to Hydra. From
Epirus the Lazarou, Zerva, Kokini and Kountourioti families; from Kythnos the
Barou, Rafalia, Nega, Ghika and Gouma families; from Vourla of Smyrna, the
Giakoumaki and Tobazi families; from Euboea the Nokos, Miaoulis, Kriezis and
Boudouris families; from Kranidi the Tsamados family; the Epidaurus family, the
Economou family and others from all over Greece. |
