Drakeia massacre

The Drakeia massacre (Greek: Η σφαγή της Δράκειας) refers to the mass execution of 115 men by SS soldiers in the village of Drakeia, located on Mount Pelion, in Thessaly, on 18 December 1943. It was part of the multiple Nazi reprisals against the Greek Resistance in occupied Greece.

A wake in memory of the victims is held in the area every year, in the presence of members of the Greek Parliament, members of the Government of Greece and other dignitaries.
