Gera or Yera (Greek : Γέρα ) is a town on the Aegean island of Lesbos in Greece . It once stood as one of the largest ports of the island. According to scholars the ancient name may have been Portus Hieraeus; Pliny the Elder mentions a Lesbian city called Hiera, which was abandoned before his time.[2]
History [ edit ]
The 1st-century Roman historian and naturalist Pliny the Elder recorded the existence of an ancient city on Lesbos known as Hiera.[2] Hera , and there is evidence that the island of Lesbos followed the cult of Hera during the time of Sappho around the 7th century B.C.[3] [4]
Geography and administration [ edit ]
The Municipality of Gera was established with the Kapodistrias reform in 1997, with the capital at Pappados ,[5] [6] [1] Skopelos , Palaiokipos , Mesagros , Perama , Pappados . It was again abolished in the 2010 Kallikratis reform .[5] Mytilene .[7]
Bay of Gera [ edit ]
The Bay of Gera is a wider area of Lesbos, with the main port today at Perama . The name has changed throughout history, and has been variously called Ieremidia, Gieremia, Geremia, Lichremadia, Maliae, Iero, Hiera, Giera, Keramia, Iera, Gera, Eleon, Olivier.[8]
