Karini ( Greek: Καρήνη) is a village administratively belonging to the Municipal Unit of Mytilene [2] on the island of Lesbos, North Aegean, Greece. According to the 2021 census, it has no permanent population. [1]
Karini is situated at an elevation of 80 meters and is positioned along the main road from Mytilene to Agiasos, approximately 1 kilometer west from the edge of the Ippios plain. It occupies an exceptionally fertile narrow valley and benefits from a freshwater spring. [3]
Koldeway observed the remnants of an ancient building complex which he identified as a villa. Within this complex, he discovered a well-fired buff vessel containing around 100 bronze coins, several depicting the head of Apollo and a four-stringed lyre on the reverse side. Some coins bore the inscription "MYTI" along with monograms on both sides. This hoard was dated to the 3rd century BC or possibly a bit later. [3]
In close proximity, Kontis documented remnants of quarries, with the majority displaying signs of ancient extraction activity, and Taxis reported the presence of an ancient cistern. [3]
