Nikolaos Stratos was a Greek politician from Loutro, Aitoloakarnania prefecture. He entered politics as a venizelist and became Minister of the Navy. In 1913 he switched to the Laiko (Popular) Party of Dimitrios Gounaris. He became Prime Minister for six days in May 1922. When the Laiko Party government was brought down after the Asia Minor disaster, Stratos, along with other members of the government, were put on trial for their role in this catastrophe. Six of them - among them Stratos - were sentenced to death and executed on November 28, 1922.
