Katharo (Καθαρόν) Lasithi
Katharo is a plateau in the Dikti mountain range in the prefecture of Lasithi, Crete. It is located at an altitude of about 1150 meters and is 16 kilometers from Kritsa and 12 kilometers from the plateau of Lasithi. It is inhabited mainly in the summer by shepherds, while there is no lack of crops throughout the year. In Katharos there is a special status of land ownership, as the entire area of Katharos belongs exclusively to the municipal district of Kritsa, and only the permanent registered residents of the village have the right to build in Katharos.
In 1961 it was enumerated with 0 inhabitants as in 1971 and 1981. Only in 1991 it has 4 inhabitants and belongs to the same community. The place name is probably of territorial origin-like Omalos in the prefecture of Chania. Shepherds move their flocks to the plateau from May 15 and live there until the first days of November, when they leave the flocks on the plateau for the lower part of Kritsa, while there is no lack of crops throughout the year. There are only a few houses where shepherds usually live. They produce small vegetables and fruits, delicious cheese usually for their needs. Electricity is generated only by generators.
Every year, in the winter, heavy snowfalls cover all the houses, with the result that the flora and fauna in Katharo are not so common. In August, we have two local celebrations each year: - on August 6, the celebration of the local church of the Lord Christ (Jesus Christ) - the celebration of the shepherd.
The plateau, 10 km long and 15 meters wide, from the top of Pitourou to Lakko Kadi, consists of valleys enclosed around mountain ranges and mountains, lying towards the NW. part of Kritsa and SE of the District of Lasithi, and is 16 km from the town of Kritsa and 10 km from the province of Lasithi. After the occupation of Crete by the Venetians, it came under the control of a Venetian feudal lord who had as a summer residence after livestock and beekeeping the apartment of Agios Georgios, Chirokoumadia, Pervola Melitino where he built almond and almond trees, cultivated almonds and cultivated gardens. .Pi. After the subjugation of the island to the Turks, a plateau came into their possession and specifically in the possession of the janissary of Heraklion, Chaniali, given that Crete after the subjugation came into the possession of three large families of Betrides, Chanialides and its large Isitiris, each of whom Smooth in Chania in Petrides, in those located in Heraklion Chanialides of the Yukhta Archanes mountain range and an indicator where the Plateau is clean and in the Itzitarides the mountain range of Sitia. Over the years, brothers Hussein Bin and Ishmael Bin have paved the Plateau of the Pure in the Kritsa Community. For this purpose, an imperial decree was issued by Firmani of the Imperial Majesty of the Sultan, on the condition that every inhabitant of Kritsa would remain only on the plateau, without the right to transfer even a smallest piece of land to noboby.
After an emigration to the village of Kritsa in the village, he lost all rights to the plateau, and the prefecture had the right to inherit the rights transferred to the heirs of his lot, and the Community undertook to pay 4,000 ounces of wheat for donors and donors. they transferred the right to a mosque of the sultan in Heraklion Hunukyar mosque, which was located where the Museum is today. The estate was vacant in the hierarchy in Ierapetra, administered by the mufti of Ierapetra, collecting the eligible rights. Later, the end of the 4,000 okadas of wheat was converted into 400 okadas of oil to be used for the operation of the candles of the above tenant and the Community since then after the change of payment of the item fulfilled 400 okadas of oil and 25,000 white (kalemie parasite) by height, that is, copyright, for issued payment receipts under the competent authority. At one time a dispute arose between the inhabitants of Kritsa and Lasithi over a location. The plaintiff is close to judging who he belonged to, but he was the victim of a murder and the place where he was killed was named by Kadi, Lakkos or Kadi Meidani. The people of Lasithi refused to pay for the blood and the residents of Kritsa, after paying compensation, became the owners of Lakko, which has since been called Kadi's Lakkos or Kadi Meidani. The Community maintains soil with blood mixed with an apple in its offices and is the blood of the slain priest. It is defined by the Vourlia mountain range and the Kadi fortress, Karavia pit, Kathario Lakkos, Parathyri, Lekanida, Patsourou peak, monodendri, Kotsifanero, ruined Koryfi, Stavrou Seli, Anefolakkous. In the various revolutions, the heirs of Chanel learned of the imperial Firman, they escaped it from the archives of the ephemeral in Roumeli's episcopate in Constantinople, and so the community, after losing the title of Occupation, threatened to lose the property. claims. Knowing that the Firman had been lost, they claimed the plateau and the inhabitants suffered because they did not want to lose the right that belonged to them without protest. Long and hard fights were held between the residents of Kritsa, whose qualifiers were thrown into the prisons of Heraklion by the Chanialides to be convinced and to declare that they are leaving the estate. During the long week, they were imprisoned and after protesting to the consuls of the great powers, England, France and Russia, they were released after the court battle continued. After several years, fellow villager Nikolaos Apostolakis and a Provencal Muslim discovered that the Puritan firman was in Istanbul. After this information, a power of attorney was requested and drawn up by the residents by the notary Myronos Niotakis. After a relevant order, he went to Chania, acted through the Commander-in-Chief and brought the firman to Kritsa. Thus ended the long struggle to find the firman between Kritsa and Chaniali.
After the revolution of 1866, Rauf Pasha, a progressive and philomusic man, wanted to settle the issue of the elementary education of the Christian children of Crete and defined as the resorts of the communicating mountain ranges, Omalou, Yukhta, Dikonton, the Index, used as Sitia, used for the construction of schools under, a rhythmic square or rectangular building with a stone cornice a place of subordination of the inhabitants as they had the right to a limited elementary education but not absolute freedom. Such a school building is preserved today in Kritsa with the stone cornice. In later times, various shepherds slowly conquered these mountain ranges. They made their mountain ranges their property, and only the common ground was kept by the Plateau of Katharos, Giouchtas Archanon and Omalos of Chania.
After the liberation of Crete, the Cretan Parliament voted in favor of Law No. 170 and subordinated to this state the Administration of the Unorganized Communities, headed by a three-member committee elected by the residents to the common areas of public law unions. In 1904-1905, the Kritsa Community Committee paid the dues and cleared Kathro from the ephemeral Ierapetra after each animal paid 0.40 per capita rights for the exemption of the estate from a vacuum liability. During this time, under the supervision of the then Member of Parliament, Kritsas Betouras, the relevant firman was translated by Avram Efendi Lefkochiros, a distinguished Turkomathos, and ratified under the auspices of Prince George.
Thus, the Community has since maintained the relevant brand in the original and in official translation. In 1925, after the extension to the N. Chora of the Law of the DN 2, the administration of the plateau came to the new Community, governed by the above Law, abolished by that time until then the Community of the state under Article 170 of the Cretan state on disorganized Communities. Such is the story and description of the Katharos Plateau that is a great lung of life and production for the inhabitants of Kritsa.
To them, this prefecture has long belonged, and all kinds of agricultural exploitation without gaining the right to occupy any of the inhabitants on it, in any way, nor by any exploitation. In order to preserve the history of this great Community estate for the town of Kritsa, the above report was prepared so that future generations would know how and how the ownership of the plateau was achieved. The plateau is a very important factor in the life of the population of the town and a great source of Community budget.
