At the south of the village, the visitor can see the remains of the first installation at the area that dates back at the 7th c. B.C. The city was built from Thassian colonists that founded and called it Oesymi, a small trade station that helped the trade with the mainland and secured the coast.
The city was renamed Anaktoroupolis after the 9th c. A.D. and it’s referred as the local bishop’s capital. Trademark of that period is the well preserved castle that remains until today.

The city survived until the 15th c. A.D., when the Ottomans conquered the area and the city was halved.
