The villagers slyly managed to send someone to the Constantinople to protest to the sultan, who acquitted them and fired Aga.

In 1770 the village was set on fire and looted by the Turks because of a failed revolution attempt by the Greeks in Morea.

During the Turkish occupation, the village was called: "Bas Kara Bunar" which means "Black Deep Well".

A committee of three young men agreed and decided to start from the village and reach Constantinople, where the sultan's headquarters were located.

They went to an "Armeni" (According to the Greek vernacular, Armenedes were the traders and craftsmen scattered from their cradle, within the Ottoman Empire) in Constantinople and asked for help on what to do to get rid of this habit.

The Sultan then became enraged and ordered a Turkish officer with a strong guard to visit the village and if what was told to him really happened to punish them.

At the time when the young people were getting ready to leave, after thanking him, he asked them to answer his question, how they managed to reach the City, without being noticed by the Turkish guards.

There is also the second version that it got its name from the many foxes that existed in the area, but the strongest one is the first that has been transmitted by word of mouth for many years.

Since the 18th century the urban Greek element has been booming economically and spiritually, which can be strongly found in the life of the society and in ecclesiastical architecture and art.

They took the captives from Akalan (now Belopolyane) to a ravine near the village of Alepochori, where the barbarians' work began.

Blood flowed from the hands of the executors, the people continued to be slaughtered even then, as if by a miracle, they shouted loudly to the living "leave!".

Several young men from the village fought in the mountains of Albania in the 1940 war as they did in the Asia Minor catastrophe.

People were running in the streets, in the fields, in the pastures, the bell was ringing to alert the villagers about the bad news of the war.

Men and women shared farm and livestock work, with children starting to help from the age of 12–13 years.

The dowry consisted mainly of land, while the inheritance was passed by will, usually after the death of the father, with girls receiving a smaller share than boys.

On 17 June 1947, a group of guerrillas entered Alepochori and burned down the house of a field guard, while he reportedly recruited 35 like-minded people.

Of interest are the many tombstones in the area around the church, as well as the representation of the tree of life at the entrance of the cemetery.

[22] Folklorist Georgios Megas analyzes the reasons that justify the architectural choices in the buildings of this period, saying that the shape of the churches is a result of the fear not to provoke the Ottomans, as they often fell victim to janissaries and delibasis who looted area of Thrace.

He describes, in a brilliant style, the fact that Thrace is the courtyard of the Capital, in which the above were inflicted, causing damage and spreading terror.

After the two great reforestations that took place, modern machines are used to cultivate the land and crops have also changed (cotton, sunflowers, beets, corn, potatoes).

Throughout the summer, the inhabitants were engaged in work in the fields (spring sowing, orchards, corn, cotton).

Despite their fatigue, on the afternoons of the big holidays, everyone gathered in the village square and danced and sang in groups.

The men were engaged plowing, sowing, cutting wood for the fireplace, while the women made preparations for the winter (loom, frumenty, rousnitsia, groats, couscous, pickles).

They gathered every night in a house and there they did various jobs (knitting, embroidery, wool), they sang and told fairytales.

In the foundations, a rooster was always slaughtered, and when they reached the roof, the master builder made a wreath of flowers and shouted a wish for all those who brought a gift.

The interiors were designed to serve all needs (sleep, storage, cocoons, Animals, engagements, weddings).

Their houses were smaller and built with "birch" (mud with straw, dried in the sun and made like stone).

The Animals that were in the stable were the oxen for plowing, the cows, the buffalo, the donkeys and in the yard they surrounded the dog, the cat, the hens, the ducks, the little pigs.

[27] The Greek Orthodox chapel of Saint Paraskevi is less than 1 km from the last houses of the eastern side of the village.

People go there to barbecue, to picnic or to relax under the cool shades of the trees and the sound of a nearby water source.
