The village is an old settlement. Its name was ''Panium'' in the ancient ages, ''Fanarraki'' or ''Fanarayan'' during the [[Byzantine Empire]]. The lighthouse the symbol of the village, was built by the [[Republic of Genoa]] which fought against [[Republic of Venice]] in 1352 and colonized the area before Turkish conquest in the Middle Ages. The light house was rebuilt in the 19th century by the [[Ottoman Empire]]. There are two ruins in the village which are historically important. The ''Pompeius column'' was constructed by the Byzantine Empire and the citadel was built by the Ottoman sultan [[Murat IV]] in the 17th century.
