Chech

It consists of about 60 settlements and was traditionally mostly Pomak with Orthodox Greek and Bulgarian minorities.

It covers the western Rhodope Mountains and the northern slopes of Falakro (Bulgarian: Боздаг, Bozdag).

The villages in the Greek Chech are part of Kato Nevrokopi municipality and Sidironero community.

The Pomak population of the Greek part of Chech was exchanged with Turkey during the Greek-Turkish population exchange in 1923 and replaced with Orthodox Christians from Turkey.

The major settlements of the northern part of Chech are enlisted by Vasil Kanchov in two of his works.
