Kalimera from Beirut

Before 1975 and way before Lebanon was changed forever, there was a time when this small country was regarded as the Jewel of the middle-east: a safe haven for those running from the cruelty of War or looking for a land to settle down and invest in.
In 1922, thousands of Greek refugees found their way to the shores of Beirut. Many of them fled from Turkey while others came on foot along with the Armenians of Izmir and Alexandrite.
