AGARYONES (Village) LEMNOS (LIMNOS)
Tel: +30 22540 51289
We do not know if the village called Agariones is the one mentioned
as Arioni in the monasteries' documents of 1355 or the one referred to as Kariones
in the codes of Pantokratoros
Monastery. Anyway, the Monastery
of Pantokratoros seemed to have had a significant property in region: The
farmhouse of Ano Chorion, the Monastery of Christ's Metamorphosis and a tower
called Alexopyrgos. This tower was built in honour of the founder of Pantokratoros
Monastery, Alexios Komninos or Alexios Strategopoulos.

KODIAS (Village) LEMNOS (LIMNOS)
Kondias was a municipality till 1914. It was mentioned that many years
ago two Peloponnesian landowners used to live here. Their names were Kondeas and
Chandreas. So the village was named Kondias and the river of the region, Chandrias.
Kondias is undoubtedly one of the most traditional villages of the island. The
stone built houses are quite characteristic. Many of these once belonged to shipowners,
who lived in the village. Coming out of the village to Tsimandria
one meets plane trees and eucalyptus, quite impressive for the island.

LIVADOCHORI (Village) LEMNOS (LIMNOS)
Tel: +30 22540 92451
Livadochori is first referred in 1355. As it is located in the center
of a fertile plain it was quickly developed. Part ot its importance must be due
to the neighbouring Monastery of Aghios Pavlos, where the Limnian Metropolis was
transferred after 1390 and before 1447. This Monastery possessed a quite large
region, the most fertile on the island. It was said that Constandinos Palaiologos
himself gave the Monastery to the Limnian population in order to use its income
for educational and ecclesiastical purposes. In the beginning of the 19th century
a Sultan's document was granted to the Christian community. Since then it is administered
by a Pallimnian Committte.

Tel: +30 22540 92435
Pedino or Pisperago as it was earlier named is refered to on a golden

which owned sailing vessels during the last century. It was destroyed by the earthquakes
in 1968 and transferred to the region of Nea

gardens, have been rebuilt and are inhabited.

or Pterin - exist in this region. It was a farmhouse belonging to the monastery
