The name of the islands comes from the Byzantine period when royal princes and empresses were exiled there. With the introduction of steamboats during the late Ottoman period around the 19th century, these islands became popular resorts for the rich people who built their wooden houses. Jewish, Greek, and Armenian communities were a large part of the inhabitants here. Today, the islands are popular tourist destinations for daily excursions, especially in the summertime. There are many monasteries and historic buildings on the islands, besides 19th-century Victorian style old wooden mansions.
