In 1418, Buondelmonti mentioned the village as Rapagnidi (Ραπανίδι) and was located in the outer part of the island. The next mentioning was Belon in 1548 in which he visited the island for several days and presented the realization of nearby paths in Hephaestia and the hill of the Lemnian land. It mentioned repeatedly as Rapagnidi and that mentioned on a map written in 1588. It wrote it founded a nearby port known as Ekato Kefalon (Εκατό Κεφαλών = The Hundred Heads'') in which it was mentioned in a 1588 map as Ecato Cephales.

Its port was founded and was used during the years of Piri Reis in 1521, in which it was mentioned in the map as Limãn-i-jüz baš (Port of Ekato Kefalo).
