[edit] Information
Tychero was under Ottoman rule and was known as Bidigli or Pitikli until the Balkan Wars. Later on, it ceded to Bulgaria and remained for the next seven years but kept its name. Bidigli finally joined the rest of Greece and a few years later, it was renamed to its current name Tychero. After World War II and the Greek Civil War, its buildings were rebuilt. Much of the houses were stone built until the 1960s. Electricity arrived the same year. Vehicles arrived in the 1970s, the pavement of the main road and television arrived in the 1980s and computer and internet are rarely known in the beginning of the 21st century and up to date technology are not seen. Tychero was struck on late-February 2006 by the worst flood ever to hit the Evros river. Several roads were closed and houses and farmlands were flooded. It left residents stranded in their houses.
[edit] Other
Tychero or Tichero has a school, a lyceum (middle school) a gymnasium (secondary school), churches, banks, shops and a square (plateia).
