About Ares
An are (a) is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters (10 m × 10 m). Though less commonly used today, it served as an intermediate unit between square meters and hectares in the metric system. One are equals 0.01 hectares or about 119.6 yd². It is still occasionally used in some European countries for measuring medium-sized land plots, gardens, and vineyards. The dekameter-squared (dam²) is another name for the same unit.
About Stremmata
A stremma (στρέμμα, plural: stremmata) is the standard Greek unit of land area, equal to exactly 1,000 m² (0.1 hectare). It is the unit every Greek and Cypriot uses for fields, olive groves, vineyards, and rural plots - in everyday Greek, no one says '1,000 square meters'; they say 'ένα στρέμμα.' Greece's total agricultural land is measured in millions of stremmata. One stremma equals approximately 0.2471 acres or 10 ares. The word derives from the Greek 'στρέφω' (to turn), historically referring to the area a plough could turn in a given time.
