Romani people in Greece

The Romani people of Greece or Romá (Greek: Ρομάνι/Ρομά) are called Arlije/Erlides (Greek: Ερλίδες), Tsiganoi (Greek: Τσιγγάνοι), Athiganoi(Αθίγγανοι), or the more derogatory term Gyftoi (Greek: Γύφτοι) (Gypsies). The number of Roma in Greece has been estimated to be up to 300,000 people.On 8 April 2019 the Greek government stated that the number of Roma people in Greece is around 110,000.

The history of Roma in Greece goes back to the 15th century. The name Gypsy(Gyftos=Γύφτος) sometimes used for the Romani people was first given to them by the Greeks, who supposed them to be Egyptian in origin.

Due to their nomadicnature, they are not concentrated in a specific geographical area, but are dispersed all over the country. The majority of the Greek Roma are Orthodox Christians who speak the Romani language in addition to Greek. Most of the Roma who live in Western Thrace are Muslims and speak a dialect of the same language.

The Roma in Greece live scattered on the whole territory of the country, mainly in the suburbs. Notable centres of Romani life in Greece are Agia Varvara which has a very successful Romani community and Ano Liosia where conditions are poorer. Roma largely maintain their own customs and traditions. 

The majority of the Greek Roma are Orthodox Christian and have taken a Greek identity (language, names) while a small part of them, the Muslim Roma concentrated in Thrace have adopted Turkish identities.

Roma in Greece are known for the zurna and davul duos (analogous to the shawm and drum partnership common in Romani music) and Izmir-influenced koumpaneia music. Koumpaneia has long been popular among Greek Roma and Jews.

Notable Roma from Greece is: Manolis Angelopoulos, singer, Paola Foka, singer, Kostas Hatzis, singer and musician, Irini Merkouri, singer, Christos Patsatzoglou, Greek international football player, Vassilis Saleas, clarinetist, , Eleni Vitali, singer and composer, Sotis Volanis, singer, Giorgos Giakoumakis, footballer end etc.

Every addict will be treated where he lives

Addicts to the polyclinic Chair, in the village of Chento, in Gjorce Petrov, in Shuto Orizari and in the hospital in the village of Gjorche Petrov. Bardovci.
According to the plan of the Health Ministry, each large settlement will have to allow the treatment of about a hundred addicts.

Minister Venko Filipce does not give in to criticism from the public after he announced that some of the addicts from Kisela Voda will also be transferred to the polyclinic Jane Sandanski in the settlement of Aerdorfer.

With this plan addicts will not bring the therapy with them, but will receive it in the presence of a doctor.

Philippe draws the idea from the experiences of countries from the European Union. The goal is for addicts to not feel marginalized and ghettoized.

Until the ministers' plans are revived, police officers will provide blades that will be given to addicted patients.

Young Roma woman journalist and actor Sindjerela Bobaric: My friend did not let me in the apartment, because I am a Roma woman!


Sinindela Bobaric, 28, from Zagreb, says she often feels rejected by others in Croatia. It does not confront prejudice only during schooling, but also in everyday life.

I had a friend from the neighborhood who told me that I can no longer come to him at home because his grandmother told him that he can not socialize with Roma, said Sinjedela Bobaric.

Besides being a journalist and actor in the editorial board of Romi.hr, she also works in the Roma National Council as an assistant to European projects.

- Togan as a child all these prejudices had a great influence on me and in my self-esteem. I was emotionally injured and did not know what the word Gypsy meant. I asked my mom what that meant. Then I realized that this is actually when there are people who do not want to accept you, and that it is always necessary to try twice as hard to prove exactly the sport of what they consider you.
