Ali Bey, the Spanish Domingo , who visited the village in 1806 writes: “I could not obtain any information about the origin of the village. It must be old. It may contain thirty houses at most. Its position is very pleasant, in the midst of a small valley ridden with olive and locust trees. Almost all the inhabitants are occupied with pottery. The surrounding mountains are covered with cypress trees that grow in dense tufts here and there.”
