This golden age should begin at the beginning of the 19th century and last for about 150 years until the Second World War.

The village with the current residential and urban trunk was probably built in the early 13th AD century. The whole village has been declared as a preserved area. The traditional settlement has strongly Venetian and Turkish architectural elements. Most buildings date back to the period of Venetian rule, but it is likely that the area was inhabited perhaps on Minoan period. The village inhabitants were mainly farmers working in oil production.
