At the beginning of the 16th century, in the abandoned countryside of the island of Lefkada which was under Ottoman Administration based in the castle of Agia Mavra, a significant number of Sephardic refugees originally from the Iberian Peninsula settled. The settlement and stay of these people in Lefkada was made by the decision of the Ottoman Sultan Bayazid II (1481-1512) and their presence on the Island lasted at least a century as there are 17th-century travellers who mention their existence in the area.
The exact location of their installation is not known today. The author argues that the "city inhabited mainly by Jews" as described by the English traveller George Sandys (1578 – 1644), is the city mentioned in the Ottoman chronicles as "Kondryada" (Greek: Χοντριάδα) and has been recorded in them since the year 1530. Today this point is a rural area of the modern settlement called "Exanthia". However, there are additional indications of the existence of a ruined fortress, a few kilometres further east, in the mountainous location of "Kastania" where it seems that the inhabitants of the city fled, in the event of an attack (such as a raid by pirates, etc.)
The fate of these refugees after the middle of the 17th century also remains unknown today. There are indications that the relatively prosperous - at the beginning of the century - Jewish community of Lefkada, collapsed under the repeated earthquake vibrations that hit their region, in the years 1612 and 1613. The few surviving descendants of the Sephardim, dispersed in the countryside of the Island to finally integrate into the Christian mountain communities founded by the Venetians - the new rulers of the island of Lefkada - after 1684.
The document discusses Saint Anna, a nun who lived at Cape Lefkatas (ancient Cape Leucates) in western Greece. According to a 10th century text, Anna was forced into an arranged marriage with a Muslim pirate but refused. She prayed for divine intervention and the pirate died suddenly. Grateful to God, Anna spent the rest of her life in the church of the Holy Virgin at Cape Leucates, where she died at an old age after 50 years. The cape has been a place of worship throughout history, with temples to Apollo in ancient Greece and later churches of the Holy Virgin and Saint Nicolaos.
