Fishermen and farmers were once the permanent residents.

Finikas used to be a fishing village and is a nice town today. 
Safe and sheltered anchorage cove and shelter for fishing boats, weary from the August, breeze sailing. Refuge for the ancient Phoenicians who chose the cove to settle and slowly became their colony.

The Phoenicians were the thalassocrats of the prehistoric era.
 Homeric description of the island is a source of historical and geographic information evaluated by many historians and writers.
