History
Under Ottoman rule Tychero was known as Bıdıklı (Greek: Μπίντικλι). After the Balkan Wars (1912-1913) it became part of Bulgaria, and it became part of Greece in 1920. It was renamed to Tychio, which was changed to the current name Tychero in 1953.[4] In February 2006 Tychero was struck by a flood of the Evros river. The town is populated by Arvanites[5] originally from Ibriktepe, now in Turkey.
