History[]

Etymology[]

According to the " Bulgarian Etymological Dictionary ", the name originates from the personal name Vladay, preserved in 1577 in a Vlach-Bulgarian deed - the Old Polish personal name Włodau is comparable . The name is an adjective with the suffix -ja , ie Vladaeva ( village , ie village ) or genitive from Vladaj - the Serbian local name Vladaje , the Romanian Vlădaia and others are comparable . It is possible that the name is directly from the female personal name Vladaya , preserved in a Vlach-Bulgarian charter from 1610.[8]

In the Ottoman Empire[]

In the Ottoman tax registers of the non-Muslim population from the province of Avret Hisar from 1619 to 1620 it is noted that the village has 3 hanets (households) liable for jizya.[9]

The " Ethnography of vilayets Adrianople, Monastir and Salonika ", published in Constantinople in 1878 and reflects the statistics of the male population of 1873, Vlad (Vladya) is referred to as settlement in said Aurelia Hisar (Kilkis) with 50 households, the residents are 264 Bulgarians.[10]

By 1900, according to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov (" Macedonia. Ethnography and Statistics "), Vladaya is a village in Doyranska Kaza and has 150 Bulgarian inhabitants.[11]

The entire population of the village is under the rule of the Bulgarian Exarchate . According to the secretary of the exarchate Dimitar Mishev (" La Macedoine et sa Population Chrétienne ") in 1905 in Vladaya there were 232 Bulgarian exarchists and a Bulgarian school.[12]

At the outbreak of the Balkan War in 1912, two people from Vladaya were volunteers in the Macedonian-Edirne militia.[13]

In Greece[]

In 1913, after the Second Balkan War, the village fell into Greece and its Bulgarian inhabitants emigrated to Bulgaria. In the 1920s, Greek refugees settled in their place. After the Balkan wars, Sarakatsani settled in the village [14] and after 1922, Pontian refugees from Kerasounta (modern Giresun, Turkey) in the Black Sea were resettled here. In 1928 there were 86 refugee families with 293 inhabitants in the village.[15] In 1926, the village was renamed Akritas.[16][17]

The Church of St. George from 1884 was declared a historical monument on June 27, 1987.[18] There is also a church "St. Anthony" from 1888 in the village. [19]
