kleftis (English spelling)

…His vision of the Greek Republic was not limited to Greece in the narrow sense, but included the entire Balkans and Anatolia, including Wallachia and Moldova, and called for the unity of all the inhabitants of these regions. In mainland Greece, bandits called Kléftis were active. They used Mount Olympus and Mount Pindus as refuges and attacked landlords and Turkish soldiers.
