NW. from the center of Alexandreia (seat of the municipality) while it is approximately 55 km.

Etude Statistique et Ethnographique") in 1878 wrote that 156 Greeks lived in Lianoveri in the Diocese of Kampani.[3] According to a report by Dimitrios Sarros in 1906, "Lianoveri (Lianovergi) is a Greek-speaking village in the Diocese of Koulakia with 185 inhabitants".[4]
