Chomori (Greek: Χώμορη meaning Homer in ancient-greek) is a human settlement in Aetolia-Acarnania, West Greece, Greece at an altitude of 700 meters.[2][3]
Geography
[edit]Chomori is nestled amphitheatrically on the southwestern slopes of Mount Ardini (Xerovouni), beneath the wooded hill of Agios Konstantinos. It lies between the streams Mega Rema to the west and Chomoritiko to the east, both of which flow into the Kotsalos River.[4] It is located north of Nafpaktos, and can be accessed either via Eleftheriani, with a total distance of 52 km, or via Platanos, with a total distance of 66 km.[5] The village features a cobblestone square with a large plane tree and a stone fountain, offering scenic views. The stone houses in the village are notable, with the most significant being the "Tower of the Logothetai," built in 1756.[4].
History
[edit]Chomori has been mentioned since the early 17th century, and its name is believed to derive from the ancient Greek word "homoros," meaning neighboring. By 1912, the village was already referred to as Chomeri, and in 1940, the name was corrected to Chomori[6]. The French explorer François Pouqueville mentions it by the name Chomori in his list of villages in the Kravara region, noting that it was inhabited by 10 families. From 1695 to 1775, it was the seat of a diocese that had jurisdiction over Dorida and mountainous Nafpaktia.[7]
Administrative Information
[edit]The village was officially referred to as Chomeri after the liberation in 1835, with Government Gazette 19A - 07/12/1835, when it was annexed to the then municipality of Proschio. In 1912, with Government Gazette 261A - 31/08/1912, it was designated the seat of the newly established community of the same name, and in 1940, its name was corrected to Chomori.[8] With the implementation of the Kallikratis program, together with Agia Triada, it forms the local community of Chomori, which is part of the Municipal Unit of Platanos in the Municipality of Nafpaktia, in the Region of Western Greece. According to the 2011 Population and Housing Census regarding the permanent population, the community had 77 residents, while the settlement had 66.
