About Portaria, Pelion
The original settlement in the area of Portaria was created during the Slavic settlements in Greece. The settlement that was created then refers to documents of the Byzantine period named Dryanouna.
Towards the end of the Byzantine period monasteries are founded, most of which, at the end of the 13th century, were founded by Dimitriadis, Nikolaos Melissenos, with his wife Anna. One of the monasteries that were founded at that time was the monastery of Panagia Portárea , to which Portaria, according to its predominant view, owes its present name.
In the Ottoman Empire, Portaria and then Portaria. During the Ottoman domination the Pelion region is growing in population, gathering populations that resort to lowland areas. In the 18th century, Portaria has already evolved into an important commercial and craft center of the region, knowing its great growth, which is reflected in its large mansions, many of which have been preserved to this day.
Portaria at that time was famous for its silk woven fabrics and scarves, as well as for its great bazaar, which was probably the most important of Thessaly. Portaria was one of the main centers of the Thessalian revolutionof 1878. With the liberation of Thessaly in 1881, it forms part of the Greek state and is the seat of the municipality of Ormini. From 1912 until 1998 it became the seat of the community, while in 1998 the seat of the extended Municipality of Portaria was established. Since 2011 it has been administratively in the Municipality of Volos.
Portaria is today a place of special natural beauty, along with its neighboring Makrinitsa, as well as a traditional settlement.
