Loidoríki

Loidoriki stands on the western slopes of Mount Giona, above the valley of the Mornos in the mountains of Doris. It was a bishopric by the ninth century, and a castle is recorded here in the fourteenth, though no trace of it remains. After belonging to Epirus, the town passed to the Catalan Duchy of Athens and the County of Salona. Ottoman forces took it in 1394; Theodore Palaiologos recovered it briefly in 1397 before it returned to Ottoman hands.
