Summary/Abstract: The author of this paper points to some irregularities that appear in Greek historiography related to the figure of Djordje Berovic, Pasha of Orthodox Christian faith who was the Prince of Samos and the last Governor of Crete. Namely, Greek authors stated that Djordje Berovic died and was buried in Venice. However, his grave is located in Orthodox Christian part of the graveyard in Dubrovnik. Besides, some disagreements regarding his ethnic affiliation appear in Greek historiography. This paper is a result of field and archive research of Paljic family personal archive in Belgrade and State archives of Greek Republic on the island of Samos. The paper also gives littleknown information about Pasha’s descendants in Belgrade and Crete today.
