They included Estians, Ionians, Dors, Lydians, Persians and Alexander The Great. It was then ruled by the Romans and Byzantians for a long time and administered by officials of Rhodes. Finally the region fell into the hands of the Turkish between 1280-1290. There are historical artifacts in this region which backup these claims although no in depth excavation has been conducted. Documents have been found about the area and have taught us that the oldest former names of this region of Icmeler are Yilaniye and Golenye. |
