Straharis

Straharis is a former municipality in the Pella regional unit of Greece. It was created through the Kallikratis plan and existed from 2011 to 2019. Before that, it was part of the Almopia municipality.

The municipality Straharis was enclosed by the municipalities Makrodendro to the north-west, Exapur to the west, Litochoro to the south-west, Douvolo to the south, Pentalonaste to the south-east, and Niki to the north-east. Its total surface area was 312.83 square kilometers.

Strahari has 8 villages, among them the main village Kali Ammoodia. Strahari's economy primarily relies on agriculture and secondary on commerce and services. Its terrain is mountainous to varying degrees throughout.

In July 2019, through the "Kapodistrias plan" revision and municipal reform, Straharis and the adjacent municipality Niki merged to form the new municipality Dios Olympos. Prior to this change, the regional municipal divisions had shrunk down to three municipalities per regional unit without significant population disparity or territorial contiguity.

Many of Strahari's antiquities and cultural treasures are still waiting to be explored. In this regional unit of Pella, the Antiquities section of the Greek Ministry has not compiled an exhaustive inventory of antiquities that exist across the entire Pella Region.
