At a panoramic spot in the location of Lakos in Chortasa, on the Lasithi mountains, at a bend in the rural road from where one can continue walking along the Minoan path that connected the Dictaean Cave with ancient Lyctus, we can see Tsoulis’ tomb.

A large pile of stones and a stone pillar, with partially faded letters, inform the passerby that this is the execution site of Tsoulis Aga, serving as his grave.

Tsoulis is recorded in history as a notorious janissary (Turko-Cretan) who lived in the Askoi Plain. His father hailed from Kato Vatheia, and his mother from Zinda. This very aga was entrusted with managing the taxes of the Lassithi district. However, his power extended far beyond financial matters, and integrity was a foreign concept to him. His rule was marked by abuse and cruelty, as he exploited his position to oppress the locals, demanding more than they could afford and showing no mercy for those who resisted. His actions earned him a grim reputation, one that would later be sealed by his execution, leaving behind a legacy of fear and resentment in the hearts of the people.
