This is high country inland from the Aegean and Mediterranean, and has hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters.

During the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) refugees from Bulgaria were settled on the plain, which was then known as Hambat after a Seljuk Turkish caravansaray that stood here. Immigration from Bulgaria continued until recent times.

This is an agricultural district, with irrigation systems currently being put in place.
