The ancient Greeks referred to the islands by the same name<\/strong> (the name of the islands reflects the land\u2019s wealth in wine as the word \u201co\u00edno\u201d means in greek wine.) The historian Thoukyd\u00eddis (5th century BC) wrote that the Athenian fleet used the islands as their base of operations against Ch\u00edos. In the area around the Castle, there are ancient remains from the Historic Age. On the whole, the fate of Oino\u00fasses followed that of Ch\u00edos. <\/p>\n\n

The islands were uninhabited during the 15th and 16th centuries<\/strong>, and used by pirates as a hideout. The Turks captured Oino\u00fasses during the mid-16th century. During the beginning of the 18th century shepherds from Kard\u00e1myla (N. Ch\u00edos) permanently installed themselves on the islands and built the churches of \u00c1gios Ge\u00f3rgios and later \u00c1gios Nik\u00f3laos. Refugees from Pelop\u00f3nnisos increased this small population at the end of the same century. The islands then began to develop their nautical skills in order to make a living, and became renowned in Greece and abroad. <\/p>\n\n

The Hellenic Military Navy freed the islands<\/strong> from the Turks in November 1912, and Oino\u00fasses was reunited with Greece. During both of the world wars, ships from Oino\u00fasses were put to use as transporters for the Allies. They withstood great losses, particularly personnel. It is not a coincidence that the first ever Monument to the Missing Sailor in Greece was erected in Oino\u00fasses to honour all those lost at sea. <\/p>\n\n

Missing Sailor in Greece was erected in Oino\u00fasses to honour all those lost at sea. \nIn between the two world wars the Oino\u00fassian shipowners established themselves in London. This continual excellence at sea also brought the building of the Merchant Navy School<\/strong> to Oino\u00fasses, which today dominates over the life of the island. \n<\/p>\n\n

Miscellaneous<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Famous names arose in both the arts and commerce, especially those of large shipping companies (such as Lem\u00f3s, Chatzipat\u00e9ras, Fafali\u00f3s, Fr\u00e1ngos and others).<\/p>\n\n

Sightseeing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Apart from the Nautical Museum in the town, the Monastery of Evangelism\u00f3s, with its hagiography of artist and poet F. K\u00f3ntoglos, lies a distance of 5km away. The Monastery dominates over the bay where it is thought that the Apostle Paul disembarked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
