History

The Frankish Crusaders of the County palatine of Cephalonia and Zakynthos established the diocese, which survived their rule, in the early 13th century. On 3 June 1919 the residential see was suppressed but immediately transformed into a titular bishopric, its territory and title being merged into the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Corfu–Zakynthos–Cephalonia. In 1921 this was also suppressed, never having had an incumbent.
