Venetian occupation
As is the case with the other Cyclades Islands, the Venetians were here (in the beginning of the 13th century) and have left a fortress behind, in this case built in the 15th century. Before them the island was a part of the vast Byzantine Empire and this influence is distinctive in the island's countless churches. In 1537 was occupied by the Turks. Finally, in 1832 the island entered Greece.
