Greek-American trying to track down Genealogical records to apply for Greek citizenship – can anyone help me figure out a place name in Greece?

1. So for context:

   this was written in 1916 on an English form (so these are English letters

   The word on the left I am quite confident is “Greece”

   The worst on the right should be the city/town in Greece.

   To me, it looks maybe like:

   * Gosterissi

   * Gosterikki

   * Gosteritti

   something like that. It’s really the last three letters that I Find to me the most confusing.

   There is a possibility that the scribe was mistaken about this being. a place in Greece. My grandfather was born in Anatolia and lived for a time in Albania as well. So it is possible that this place is in Albania or Turkey. But nothing (in any of the three countries) comes up when I google it

   Would anyone here happen to have any ideas?

   Thanks so much!

2. it’s unreadable.

   it seems like latin alphabet, so if you can read it, then write what you read and we will tell you the place name.
