Abstract
Many travelers from Europe came to Iran, Central Asia and India in the 17th and 18th centuries. One of the European travelers who traveled through Central Asia and wrote down detailed information about the peoples of the region was the Greek traveler Vassilios Vatatzis, who traveled for many еars from 1708 through the countries of Europe and Asia. Vasilio Vatazzi’s travelogue, Periegetikon (“Travels”), written in poetic Greek, is one of the rarest and least studied sources. His journey through Central Asia in 1727 – 1730 is especially important for us. In 1886, the main contents of the travelogue were abridged in French in prose. Recently, its English translation was done in the same way. But despite this, this travelogue and the valuable information in it are still unknown to scientists of Central Asia, including Uzbekistan. Below is a summary of the main content of this travelogue. The information given in the travelogue is compared with the traveler’s comments on the map of Central Asia.
