Portianou
Portianou (Greek: Πορτιανού) is a village on the Greek island of Lemnos, located northeast of Myrina. Geography *Neo Pedino * Palaio Pedino, southwest Population The name Originally the village was located further west near the area known as Ayios Spyridon, where we find remains of a cemetery and traces of old houses. According to old testaments, which cannot be verified, about three centuries ago a plague forced the population to move the village to its present position. In any event, the village’s name is not mentioned in any record kept by the Byzantine monasteries in Lemnos, as is the case with most other villages in the island. The first encounter of the name can be traced in 1785 on a map by ''Choiseul-Gouffier'' with the name of Portiano, a fact that leads us to conclude that the village was actually established three centuries ago. From later-day travelers like: ''Conze'' (1858), ''De Launay'' (1898) and ''Fredrich'' (1904) the place name is noted as Porti ...
