İbriktepe
İbriktepe is a village in the İpsala District, Edirne Province in northwestern Turkey. The village had a population of 1,127 in 2022. Situated at the Turkey-Greece border, the village is 25 km away from İpsala and 100 km far from Edirne. Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde). İbriktepe is famous for having been the birthplace of Albanian politician and founder of the Albanian Orthodox Church, Fan Noli. At the time of Noli's birth a small Albanian-speaking Orthodox community lived in the town. It had an Ayos Georgios church built in 1837. A bust of him was placed in the town in January 2011. Today, the village formerly known as Qyteza is partly inhabited by Alevi Turks.
