  The Alliance Army had encamped at Portianou in 1915. There Winston Churchill installed his head quarters while conducting the enterprises of the Allied Powers at Kallipolis. The house where he used to live was recently renovated. The cemetery of those killed at Kallipoli lies just outside Portianou. A folklore Museum exists in Portianou. This is the first and only one of its kind on the island.
