Apomero (Απόμερο) Arta
Apomero is a settlement in the Municipality of Arta with 124 permanent residents based on the 2021 Census, down from 145 permanent residents in 2011 (2011 census) and is approximately 14 kilometers from the city of Arta.[1]
According to the Kapodistrias Plan, Apomero was until the end of 2010, part of the newly established Municipality of Amvrakikos with its headquarters in Aneza. Based on the new administrative division provided for by the Kallikratis Plan, Apomera was incorporated into the Municipality of Arta.[2] Apomero together with Aneza and Mytika form the local community of Aneza with a total population of 1241 residents.
History
The bell tower of the Church of Agia Kyriaki of Apomera.
The old name of the settlement was Batoula or Bandoula. François Pouceville, in his work "Journey to Greece", published in 1820, refers to the plain of Arta and informs us that Apomero was approximately one mile from Kalomodia.[3] Based on the work of Konstantinos Diamantis entitled "Arta and its surroundings during the times of the revolution", Apomero was a small settlement with 16 families at the time of the outbreak of the Greek Revolution of 1821.[4]
The report of the Russian Vice-Consulate of Arta, in 1877, informs us that the settlement was inhabited by 7 families and was the property of Ahmet Sarris Effendi.[5] Ifikratis Kokkidis also makes a reference to the village in his work “Travels of Epirus and Thessaly” published by the Greek Ministry of Military Affairs (Athens 1880) and gives us the information that approximately 50 people lived in the village. I. Kokkidis informs us that the province of Arta was divided into 2 regions: the region of Arta and the region of Preveza. The region of Arta was in turn divided into 7 sections: the Potamia section, the Vryseos section, the Radovizi section, the Tzoumerka section, the Kampos section, the Karvasaras section and the Lakka section. Apomero was part of the Kampos section.[6]
An equally important source is the "Historical Essay on Arti & Preveza" (ed.1884) by Seraphim Xenopoulos, Metropolitan of Arta. According to this source, at that time the inhabitants of the village attended church in the church of Agios Nikolaos Aneza. In front of the church there was a co-educational school, taught by one teacher and attended by approximately 180 students from Gavria, Mytika, Aneza, Apomero and Kalogeriko.[7]
Another notable source is the Ottoman census of 1895, which was published under the title "Bin üc yüz on bir sene-i maliyesine mahass Yanya salnamesi. Yedinci defa olarak" (Ioannina Salnames for the fiscal year 1311, seventh edition). Based on this census, 8 families (khanedes) lived in Apomero with a total population of 37 people (12 men, 25 women). The engineer lieutenant colonel Nikolaos Schinas in his work "Odoiporikon Epirou" published by the Greek Ministry of Military Affairs (Athens 1897) informs us that 25 families of farmers lived in Apomero at that time and the village continued to be the property of Ahmet Sarris Efendi.[8][9]
During the unfortunate Greco-Turkish War of 1897, the village was temporarily liberated. As reported in the "History of the Greek Nation", the Greek army had liberated the villages of Mytika, Gavria, Psathotopi, Keramates, Aneza, Kalogeriko, Vigla, Rahi, Kalovatos, Plisioi, Kirkizates, Strongyli, Zavaka, Kalomodia, Agia Paraskevi, Kostakioi, Akropotamia, Neochori, Anthotopos, Chalkiades, Rokka, Agios Spyridonas, Eleftherochori, Kampi and the city of Philippiada by the evening of 23 April 1897.[10] Finally, with the mediation of the European powers and Russia, on 20 September the hostilities ceased and peace was signed. The final liberation of Apomer took place between October 6 and 9, 1912, when the first Greek battalions crossed the Arta bridge and at 2 pm they repelled the Turks and established themselves in Kostakios and the Maratios area.
In 1910, the Metropolis of Nikopolis and Preveza published the census data that it carried out that same year throughout the ecclesiastical region and informed us that Apomero was part of the Louros district and that 67 people lived in the village.[11]
Location and Access
Apomero is adjacent to Psathotopi, Mytikas, Aneza and Gavria.[12] It is connected by road to Arta via the Arta–Koronesia Provincial Road. The village is served by the Arta-Mytikas line of the Arta Urban Bus.[13]
Demographic data
Today the population amounts to 124 permanent residents, reduced from the 145 permanent residents of 2011 (2011 census),[1]. The first time the village exceeded 100 inhabitants was in 1940, while the maximum number of inhabitants was recorded in 1951 with 217 inhabitants.
Population fluctuations are reflected in the table below.[14]
