Beloiannisz, Greek heritage village in Fejér county, Hungary
Beloiannisz is a municipality in Central Transdanubia with residential houses arranged around a central square near Iváncsa railway station. The settlement has a modest structure with a cohesive village layout typical of small Hungarian communities.
The community was founded in 1950 when Hungarian authorities provided land for around 400 Greek families fleeing the Greek Civil War. The settlement was renamed to Beloiannisz in 1952 to honor Greek resistance fighter Nikos Beloyannis.
The community preserves its Greek Orthodox roots through the 1996 church, which serves as a gathering place for religious observances and community events. Visitors can experience traditions that were brought by the founding families and remain part of daily life today.
The village sits on the Budapest-Pusztaszabolcs railway line, making it easy to reach nearby cities and employment centers by train. Visitors should check local transport options to explore the wider region from this central location.
The village takes its name from Greek communist Nikos Beloyannis, honored in 1952 after his execution. This choice reflects the deep historical ties between this small Hungarian settlement and the wider Greek diaspora story.
