Anatolian Greek refugees were resettled all over Greece, with the exception of the Dodecanese which were still under Italian occupation.

The distribution however was far from uniform; refugees either formed suburban settlements around the main Greek cities or new rural settlements in sparsely populated areas, especially in regions where non-Greeks had just left because of the population exchanges.

The Computer Science and Computational Finance department[1] of the University Of Ioannina has published a series of very interesting interactive maps about refugee settlements, however most of them don’t distinguish between Anatolian Greeks.

For example, this map is showing the places where refugees from Alikarnasos/Bodrum settled:
