Eratyra (Greek: Εράτυρα, before 1927: Σέλιτσα – Selitsa,[2] between 1927 and 1928: Κατωχώριον – Katochorion),[3] is a village and a community of the Voio municipality.[4] Before the 2011 local government reform it was part of the municipality of Askio, of which it was a municipal district.[4] The 2021 census recorded 738 inhabitants in the village.[1] The community of Eratyra covers an area of 56.381 km2.[5]
The local village name Seltsa was the basis of the toponym Anaselitsa for the Ottoman province and used until the late 1920s.[6] The 1920 Greek census recorded 1,935 people in the village.[7] Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Selitsa were from East Thrace (3) in 1926.[7] The 1928 Greek census recorded 2,359 village inhabitants.[7] In 1928, the refugee families numbered 3 (7 people).[7]
