I'm pretty certain it's a hoax - there's no mention of it in the CIA world factbook entry for Lebanon, and a Google search gives no relevant hits.

I have posted this to foundation, but for those who do not know--
Today I deleted the article [[Porchesia]], which was created on November 23, 2005, i.e., 10 months ago. The article described an island off the coast of Lebanon with a population of over 300,000. The languages are Arabic, Greek, and English.
I will gladly restore the article when someone finds me one source verifying the facts of this article. You might start by finding Porchesia on a map.
