Internal exile was used to punish political dissidents by various Greek governments, including the Pangalos Regime (1925–1926) and the Metaxas 4th of August Regime (1936–1941), the government during the Greek Civil War (1946–1949), and the Greek junta (1967–1974). Those targeted were typically sent to smaller, often uninhabited Greek islands.[2] Many of these island sites operated only as prison islands, among the most notorious including Makronisos, Gyaros, and Agios Efstratios, where barracks and facilities for housing prisoners served as concentration camps. Over 100 locations across Greece were used for political exile at various times in the 20th century.[3][4]
