Summary/Abstract: The study presents three Greek itineraries, produced for the needs of itinerant traders: a MS written in the period 1769–1773 and two printed publications of 1824 and 1829. The texts testify to the increased possibilities of communication and show growing interest in the outside world, widening the horizon of people – linked to the needs of a society entering the modern age. They mirror the formation of national identities and national programs in the Balkans at the time.
