It was named "long passage" due to its geometric characteristics (short amplitude and long length). During the Turkish Empire it was called "Youzoun yol" or "Youzoun sokak" and was the main street of the district.
On this street, there are several two or three floor buildings of traditional architecture (folk style) and a few architectural elements dating back to the Venetian and the Turkish period.
