 The western tip of the island has some remains of past settlement: a few [[Minoan civilization|Minoan]] ruins and a [[13th century]] chapel dedicated to Agios Nikolaos ([[Saint Nicholas]]). It was inhabited into [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine times]]. The main sources of wealth were fishing, salt export, and the export of ''porfira'' (Tyrian purple), a scarlet dye made from shells. After the Byzantine period the island was abandoned, although later it was used as a hideout.
