Here are many very interesting links about Greek Jewry (Sefardic & Romaniote as well as tiny Ashkenazic & Italki communities in some places).

Posted out of the Sefardi circle so everyone can enjoy.

great website: http://www.yvelia.com/kolhakehila/
the only Jewish genealogy page that specializes in Greece as far as I know http://www.yvelia.com/kolhakehila/names/index.htm
by city and town: http://www.yvelia.com/kolhakehila/jewish_sites/index.htm
archives: http://www.yvelia.com/kolhakehila/archive/index.htm
Jewish youth in Athens: http://www.yvelia.com/kolhakehila/archive/documents/jewish_youth/tradition_001.htm
"the Jerusalem of the Balkans": http://www.yvelia.com/kolhakehila/archive/sites/salonika/salonika_syn_exhib_yad_vashem_006.htm
Greek Jews and descendants, out of Greece: http://www.yvelia.com/kolhakehila/archive/documents/israel/gr_in_israel_001.htm
Greek Jews in America: http://www.yvelia.com/kolhakehila/archive/documents/usa/usa_baltimore_003.htm
clear and short, with pictures: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/vjw/Greece.html
Balkan Jews: http://www.jewishgen.org/Sephardic/turkey_sites.htm

more general (a classic): http://www.sephardim.com/

Jewishencyclopedia is also useful - bear in mind parts of Greece were in Turkey less than a century ago...

If anyone has been there, or has origins or interest, feel free to add more. I may be going for a cousin's bar mitzva this summer, so I'm even more on the topic!


Wouldn't it also be nice if anyone from/knowledgeable about a "rarer" country posted about it?
