Stouronisi has recently become known because of some plans of the Greek government for a development of a high-class summer resort in the island.

[1][2] In antiquity, the island was named Aegilia or Aigilia (Ancient Greek: Αἰγιλία), or Aigileia or Aegileia (Αἰγίλεια), and was referred by Herodotus.

[6] The Euboean Sea is an important passage for the ships, so around the coasts of Stouronisi, some ancient wrecks have been found.

The submarine exploration of one wreck has been shot as part of an award winning documentary.

Odysseas Androutsos and Nikolaos Krieziotis turned to the island those years.
