ADATEPE VILLAGE
Adatepe village, which is surrounded by olive tres and pine forests, is located on the far west slopes of mythological Mt.Ida. Besides the diversity of its rich flora and fauna, Ida is also well known for its high level of oxygene. Adatepe village is under protection as a natural and a historical heritage site.
Turks and Greeks lived together here until the end of WWI . However, the history of the village traces back to hundreds of years ago and the altar of Zeus located near the village is a great evidence for the historical background of the human settlement in the village.
Today, the Ottoman mosque of the village and the tomb stones of its cemetery are counted to be the witnesses of the history. Unfortunately, the Church and the Greek cemetery existed until 1940s, but lost in time.
Some elderly locals stil remember the days when the village was populated by 400 households and 8 pubs, 2 butchers, 6 groceries, 1 draper, 1 blacksmith, 3 barbers, 1 lighter, 2 tailors, 3 olive oil factories, 1 bakery, 1 reading-hall, 1 guest-hall, 1 committee hall and a cinema functioning.
Today, there are only 28 housholds in Adatepe. Olive farming and stock-breeding are the primary occupations in the village.
