Uncle in Koroni

A phrase that… if you have not used, you have certainly heard: “He has an uncle in Koroni”, is said wanting to emphasize the power. During the Ottoman occupation, the general commander of Morias was the pasha of Tripoli. It is said that the only lord who did not obey to his authority was the bey of Koroni, because, according to the custom of the time, in Koroni was sent as bey a close relative of the sultan. Thus, the bey of Koroni was under the administration of the pasha of Tripoli, but he was affecting him significantly and the pasha did not dare to refuse him any favor.
