[edit] Information

The village was originally a Slavic settlement founded under the name Glikovo. Unlike the rest of Thessaly, Sarantaporo did not join Greece until the Balkan Wars where the town was liberated from the Ottoman Turkish yoke which dominated for over 550 years on October 1912 during the Battle of Sarantaporo which saw Greek victory in the First Balkan Wars. Sarantaporo finally became a part of Greece in 1913 which finished the oppressive Turkish rule. The Sarantaporo Gorge was the strategic location for the battle. The village\'s name during the Ottoman rule was Glikovon (Γκλίκοβον). Sarantaporo became a municipality in 1994; one of the first to be created under the Capodistrian Law. The area features archaeological findings dating back to the pre-Classical years up to the Ottoman rule.
