Consisting of hundreds of houses lined up with respect to the slope, one that does not block the other, this village was an ancient Greek settlement. Because the Anatolian Greeks were good agriculturalists, they did not build a house on the land that was planted. The houses were built on rocky, stony areas in the surrounding area. Kayaköy was established in accordance with this understanding. Until 1922, 25 thousand people lived in the village. During the "Exchange" after the War of Independence, the inhabitants of the village migrated to Greece. It is known that the Christian community has lived in the village since the 13th century. Immigrants from Western Thrace were placed here. Houses were established on the flat in front of Kayaköy. Now there are several thousand inhabitants on the plain.
