The town named Mustafapasa is one of the oldest villages found in this region. In 1923, after the Lausanne Pact, The Greek people evacuated their villages leaving countless monuments behind. 'Sinasos' as Mustafapasa was formerly known retains her links with mainland Greece and exchange visits are carried out every year.

The little town is quite self sufficient with several food-stores, an itinerant greengrocer, three restaurants, a post office, a bus service and of course a good selection of teahouses for the local male population.

Within easy walking distance are many an 'enchanted' valleys some cultivated with vines and marrows just as the monks of the monasteries of St Basil and St. Nicholas would have done centuries before.
