The Tristeno of Eastern Zagori is not known when it was created as a village. It was first mentioned to wrtitnigs referred to in a golden edict of 1319 (a type of concession) of Andronikos II to a lord of Ioannina called Drestenikos, whose name existed at least until the last century in Ioannina.
Apparently from the name of this Byzantine honorary, the village was named Drestenikos Greek: Δρεστένικος and later Dresteniko Greek: Δρεστένικο and Ntresteniko Greek: Ντρεστένικο. Several years after the liberation of Epirus (1912-1913), in 1927 with a decree (ΦΕΚ 76/1927), it was renamed Tristeno, out of the three straits that exist above the village.
The first settlers are mentioned as shepherds from Himarra who brought their sheep for grazing in Zagori in the summer. This version is not accepted by the village's inhabitants who oppose the view that the first settlers came from Veria and were craftsmen.

In literature, it is known, above all, through the novella in rima entitled "La Bella di Camarda," a work by Emidio Cappelli, published in 1857 and reprinted in 1858.
History.
Camarda has its origins during the High Middle Ages, when a raid by Lombards pushed many inhabitants of "Forcona" (an archaeological site located in the area of Bagno) to take refuge in the neighboring areas. According to legend, the name Camarda derives from the cry "Cama ardet!", shouted by the peasants who saw their sheaves burning, which some Lombard soldiers had set on fire.
Afterwards, Camarda was one of the villages that contributed to the foundation of L'Aquila. Since then, this village has bound its destiny to that of the city.
In the 19th century, Camarda was elected Comune, but soon lost this title, to become simply one of the fraziones of L'Aquila.
The Royal Decree-Law of 29 July 1927 number 1564, decreed the suppression and annexation of the municipalities of Arischia, Bagno, Camarda, Lucoli, Paganica, Preturo, Roio, Sassa and the frazione of San Vittorino belonging to the comune of Pizzoli to the comune of L'Aquila of Abruzzo. In 1947, Lucoli, after having been a fraction of L'Aquila for 20 years, was the only one to be able to restore itself as an autonomous comune, unlike the other 7 suppressed comunes.
The towns that were part of the Comune of Camarda in 1927 were: Camarda, Filetto, Assergi, Aragno and Pescomaggiore.
The territory of the ex-comune constitutes the ninth circumscription of the Comune of L'Aquila apart from the portion where Aragno is located, included in the land council of participation number eight with Collebrincioni, San Giacomo, San Francesco, and Torrione.

In the 14th century the castle was used as a district court with ownership changing often. In 1411 the Freiherr von Hofkirchen came into possession of the castle, whose family would control the castle for the next two centuries. The Hofkirchen family lost possession of the castle in 1611 when Wolfgang von Hofkirchen died in exile in Prague during the Habsburg's Counter Reformation, which saw him as a ringleader of Protestant nobility.
Following the end of Hofkirchen control, the castle changed hands several times and may even have been abandoned. In 1708 the Castle was acquired by Franz Anton von Quarient und Raal under whom the castle fell into disrepair as it no longer could serve any practical purpose.

Turkeye

Turkeye is a village of Sluis, a municipality located in the west of Zeelandic Flanders, in the south-western part of the Netherlands. Even though the village is regular village in the province of Zeeland, the name "Turkeye" is probably an old spelling for Modern Dutch Turkije (Turkey (Türkiye in Turkish). The name supposedly derives from relations between the Ottoman Turks and the Netherlands. However, depending on the age of the name, there could be a strange anachronism, since the Ottomans never referred to their Empire as Türkiye.
Its coordinates are . The name of the road to this village is "Turkijeweg" which means "Turkey Road" in Dutch.
The town has 19 inhabitants. The largest part of the houses in the hamlet serves as a holiday home. The hamlet of Turkeye was part of the municipality of Waterlandkerkje from 1796 to 1970. In 1970 this municipality merged with the municipality of Oostburg, which in turn was merged into the municipality of Sluis. The history of Turkeye starts after the conquest of Sluis in 1604 by the State army. The defeated Spanish troops withdrew and left 1500 galley slaves, among whom a large number of Muslims from the Ottoman Empire, referred to in short as Turcken. The States-General decided to release these slaves and to send the Turks back to their homeland. So they hoped to acquire the support of the Ottoman Empire in the fight against Spain. However, the so-called Flemish Turks have once again been enslaved in Marseille and have not been able to reach the Ottoman Empire. Prince Maurits may have attached the name Turkeye as an extra tribute to the Schans Turkeye, which was constructed in the same year 1604 and to which the nearby hamlet would later be named.
A bond has grown between the neighborhood Turkeye and the Turkish community in the Netherlands and Turkey. A few inhabitants of the hamlet are involved, as well as the Stichting Vriendschapsband Nederland-Turkije. There are regular visits by Turkish delegations and dignitaries such as diplomats. There are also place name signs Turkeye, gem. Sluis placed in the Turkish cities of Dalaman and Trabzon, where many Dutch tourists come. In 2012 it was celebrated that there are 400 years of diplomatic relations between Turkey and the Netherlands: In 1612 the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands was recognized by the Ottoman Empire.

When the glacier retreated (today its snout lies at about 2,200 m), the Lower Eissee was left behind in the basin, because the moraine gravel is lined with limestone silt.
