Yes, a Muktaris (as it's pronounced in Cypriot Greek - Muktar is the original Turkish term, I guess) is to a village what a mayor is to a town.

In Cyprus they tend to believe that the world revolves around them, and that they are part of a superior caste. If you need them (which you probably will), I'd suggest you be extra nice to them and go along with what they say.
