Its history dates back to the ancient city of Aphrodisi. In Latin, it is pronounced as Aphrodisi, indicating a temple dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite and a settlement around this temple once existed in the Evrese region. There are almost no remains visible on the ground from this ancient city, whose exact founding date is unknown. However, bust fragments and Roman coins can still be found in this area. Many memories from the past remain in Evrese itself.

As in the folk song, the roads in Evrese are not narrow. In fact, they are wider than those of all the towns on the Gallipoli Peninsula. This charming town, surrounded by wet plains, used to have thousands of water buffalo until about 10-15 years ago. The buffalo, whose rich milk with a high-fat content was used for making yogurt and cheese, would narrow the roads while going out to graze in the mornings, causing traffic jams in the town. The same scene would occur in the evenings when they returned. It is rumored that the folk song "Evrese yolları dar / bana bakma benim yarim var" (The roads of Evrese are narrow / don't look at me, I have a lover) originated from the buffalo that narrowed the roads every morning and evening.
