The Greek community Evrotas ( pronunciation : [ ɛˈvrɔtas ], Greek Ευρώτας ( m. Sg. )) Was formed on January 1, 2011 from the merger of five previously existing communities. It was named after the Evrotas  River, in whose southern alluvial land the municipality is located.

geography

The area of ​​the municipality extends on the north coast of the Laconian Gulf (coastline about 17 kilometers) in the fertile estuary of the river Evrotas, which is quite large by Greek standards, to which the Vasilopotamos flows from the northeast. To the north it borders on the municipality of Sparta , to the west it is bordered by the Taygetos , and to the northeast by the Parnon Mountains , which separates it from the municipality of Notia Kynouria . Adjacent communities are also Anatoliki Mani and the Messenian Dytiki Mani  in the west to the Mani peninsula and Monemvasia in the east.

The plain is largely cultivated land, here the cultivation of citrus fruits, especially oranges , predominates. Olives ( PGI Lakonia ) are grown on the surrounding slopes . The higher regions of the surrounding mountains are covered by forests, in the northeast partly with the Greek fir . The catchment area of ​​the Evrotas is home to some rare freshwater fish species and two carp fish species endemic to the Peloponnese ( Tropidophoxinellus spartiaticus and Pseudophoxinus laconicus ).

Endemic tropical diseases

There have been cases of malaria in the area since 2011 . It is believed that a native mosquito species acts as a vector. In 2012 there were 57 cases of illness. It is the subspecies p.Vivax.
