From 1947 the island of Trikeri was used as a concentration camp for female left-wing political prisoners during the Greek Civil War. The women and children were relatives of members of the EAM-ELAS, the resistance forces which had fought against fascist occupation during World War II.

In September 1949 political activists from other camps were sent to Trikeri, increasing the number of people held there to 4,700.
