Mikis Theodorakis in exile at Zatouna
During the dictatorship, Mikis Theodorakis is exiled to nearby Zatouna from August 1968 to October 1969.
Why it matters
It adds a 20th-century cultural and democratic-memory chapter to the wider Dimitsana landscape.
In August 1968, Mikis Theodorakis was sent to Zatouna, near Dimitsana, where his family joined him and stayed until October 1969. The period became part of the region’s modern cultural and political memory, now interpreted through the Mikis Theodorakis Museum of Zatouna.
