It may have taken its name at old times from many stagnant waters (Greek: λιμιώνας) that existed in the area or from many lemon trees in the area (Greek: λεμονιές). The main occupation of the former inhabitants was agriculture. The village school closed in 1987.[2] Lemona has an altitude of 308 metres (1,010 ft).[3] Lemona Village is close to Choulou, Kourdaka and Letymvou villages.[4]

Built at an elevation of 300 and watered by the river Ezousa, the Lemona village of about 50 inhabitants constitutes an impasse, as the road from there does not lead to another village. In addition the settlement is a hunting site during the hunting season.[5]
