* The Karaburun Peninsula is also having a number of villages which have lost their population for various reasons. Some of these villages were emptied during the period after 1923 when the mainly orthodox families left their villages and moved to Greece after the victory of the Turkish Army at the end of the Independence War. The muslim families which came from Greece and were settled in these villages by the new Turkish Government left them after a while.

Karareis, Egriliman, Denizgiren, Teke, Kösedere İskelesi and Yenicepinar had a rather important number of inhabitants in the period before 1923, but were abandoned after that. The reason for that was that the families living in these villages were mainly orthodox families. After the departure of the ortodox villagers, the Muslim villagers of the villages of Sazak, Manastir (Kalecik) and Yeniliman stayed for a while in the half emptied villages. But later on they also left their villages. The village of Hacilar near Mordogan was abandoned after 1950 for unknown reason. The villages of Çullu and Hisarcik were abandoned after an earthquake in 1949 had destroyed most of the houses.

A certain number of abandoned villages have recently been inhabited again like the villages of Denizgiren and Tolas near Küçükbahçe as well as the village of Yeniliman. Certain places also developped as second residence areas such as Saipalti, Esendere, Kaynarpinar, Ardiç, Asagi and Yukari Boyabag, Karareis and Görence.
