Chortiatis

Chortiatis (Greek: Χορτιάτης) is a suburb and a former municipality in the Thessaloniki regional unit, Greece.

[2] It lies at 600 metres altitude on the slopes of the Mount Chortiatis, from which it takes its name.

A Roman-era and early Byzantine aqueduct led from the mountain to Thessaloniki, and was kept in use throughout the centuries.

[5] During the 1422–1430 Siege of Thessalonica, the location was disputed between Ottomans and Venetians, but apparently captured by the former in 1428.

The Chortiatis massacre was a World War II mass murder of 146 civilians by the Wehrmacht, at the end of the occupation of Greece by the Axis powers on 2 September 1944.

Schubert's men set up machine guns to make sure that no one can flee out of the bakery.
