  Portaria is a village of 1421 inhabitants, whose main occupation is agriculture. It is famous for its apricots, which are exported to many countries.
  History:
  The village was built in the area of the ancient town Spartoles and was named after the big door ("porta" in Greek) found at the main village square.
  In 1922 the first refugee settlements started to come into being (Kargi Limani, Nea Potidea, Karkara). They were part of the administrative area of Portaria until 1925, when they became separate.
