It is established that the fortress of Akra was built in the second half of the 5th century during the time of the Byzantine emperor Anastasius. It served as a fortification of a settlement, the remains of which can still be seen on the seabed at low and clear sea waters. The fortress lasted until the 90s of the 6th century, when the Avar invasions took place.
