In the middle of the 19th century, fishermen from Maroneia and Makri established a small village, named “Dede-Agats”, meaning “the tree of the monk”

. Tradition has it that it took its name from an oak tree, under the shade of which had preached and been buried a dervish. In 1871 the little fishers’ village obtained a railway connection and the area became easily accessible by land.
