Alaçatı Greeks lived a bright period of their history with viticulture and winemaking. After the exchange, the difficult years of Alaçatı started. Muslim Turks from the Balkans did not know viticulture and olives. Thus, the vineyards in Alaçatı were removed and Thessaloniki immigrants planted tobacco instead; Kosovo and Bosnian immigrants, on the other hand, started animal husbandry, which they know.

The money that came to Alaçatı from tobacco grown with a thousand and one torment was only enough to feed the profits.
