The paper examines the changes in land tenure that occurred after the annexation of Epirus to the Greek State in 1913 until today. This is accomplished through the review of the land law and common law in force during the last period of Ottoman domination combined with the relevant Greek law in the early years of independence. The management of the national land and the policy pursued by the Greek governments related to the acute problem of the distribution of the land to the peasants and refugees is being analyzed. A detailed observation of the changes in land ownership is carried out for eight communities of the Municipality of Souli, based on the archival records of the Surveying Division of Ministry of Agriculture (today is called Ministry of Reconstruction of Production, Environment and Energy), that cover the period of the study. The study contributes to the understanding of the specific problems and their settlement and provides the necessary knowledge and empirical data, in order to solve relative property issues more suitably in the future.
