If the movement of Greek- Turkish Population Exchange has been orally inherited throughout later generations within the family, does it become a part of one's identity? May what is metaphorically called "historical heritage" of the personal history be seen as an attempt to interpret the past in order to make sense of one's contemporary life? Moreover there might even be room for clarifying the obscurity of the future. Thus a correlation between place and identity might be developed through the Greek-Turkish Population Exchange while positioning one's self-identity. Then it is possible to argue visiting the place, where traditionally called the “homeland” is a pursue for the authentic object. The Greek- Turkish Population Exchange generated a certain understanding of the self on later generations as an element of their identity; a form of identity leading to generate an attachment to a particular landscape perceiving it as the "motherlands". Therefore one is driven to pay a touristic visit for the quest of the authentic homeland.
