The island is divided into two parts as a winter port and a summer port. The inhabitants of the Winter Harbor, which was the shelter of sailors during the Byzantine period, were forced to leave the island and migrate to Greece, as per the Lausanne Treaty.

This bay, whose real name is Taşyaka, was named after the famous painter Bedri Rahmi, who visited the bay in 1974 and carved a work on a piece of rock here.
