History

At the beginning of the 20th century, Greeks still lived partly in Incesu. Most of them went with the Turkish-Greek Population Exchange. There is the Kara Mustafa Pasha Caravanserai built by Kara Mustafa Pasha in 1660 in Incesu.

In 2021, archaeologists discovered late Roman and early Byzantine houses, with inscriptions and mosaics.[4]
