Discover the history of Poliegos.

Poliegos is a Greek island located in the Aegean Sea with an ancient and fascinating history. The island takes its name from the Greek word "poly" meaning "many" and "egos" meaning "goat", indicating the abundance of goats that once populated the island. Poliegos has a long history of human settlements dating back to the Neolithic era. During antiquity, the island was known for its obsidian mines, a volcanic stone used for making tools and weapons.

Poliegos also played an important role during the Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian rule of the region, with various settlements and fortifications built on the island over the centuries. However, the island gradually lost its strategic importance over time. Today, Poliegos is known for its crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches, making it a popular destination for visitors seeking peace and natural beauty.
