Mitrousi (Μητρούσι) Serres
Mitrousi is a village in the Regional Unit of Serres. The old name of the village was Homondos. It received its new name in honor of the Macedonian warrior Dimitrios "Mitrousi" Gogolakis who died fighting the Turks in the bell tower of the holy temple of Evangelistria in Serres.
Today it is a settlement inhabited by residents of the old settlement and the refugees who came to the area in 1925. The two settlements are separated by the drainage moat "Belitsa". "Kato Mitrousi" is the name of the oldest settlement and "Ano Mitrousi" is the newest. After the "Kapodistrian" law, on the amalgamation of communities in municipalities, the whole settlement belonged to the Municipality of "K. Mitrousiou" (Captain Mitrousi) based in Provatas, Serres. Today, Mitrousi belongs to the Municipality of Serres.

The inhabitants were mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. They produced barley, wheat, maize, cotton, rice, sugar beet and alfalfa (clover).
Today, all lands are irrigated by the river Strymon. Cultures have not changed much with the difference that wheat and barley are cultivated less because the income they produce is small.
