panagiotis troupakis

Panagiotis was the leader of the Troupakis clan living in Old Kardamyli at the turn of the 19th century. Kolokotronis, a leader of the War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire, which began in 1821, was a friend and took 300 of Panagiotis's men to fight at Tripolitsa. The bust in the picture stands in the platea of present-day Kardamyli.
