Abstract

The object of presentation of the present article is the description as a representative example of the group of Orthodox Greeks - tradesmen of long distances in the Ottoman home trade, especially clearly standing out in 17th - 19th C in the wide economic zone, covering countries between Europe and the Orient. The reason why the topic attracts attention is also because the tradesman of long distances is a basic figure and a dynamic agent of commerce, namely the Greeks of this professional group seem to have direct connection with the springing up of the Bulgarian tradesman as a leading figure in the society.
