Gökçeada
Türkiye's largest island — Greek villages, wild beaches and slow island life.
Gökçeada is Türkiye's largest island, in the northern Aegean near the Dardanelles. It is less developed than Bozcaada, with hillside Greek villages, olive groves and windswept beaches.
It is a Cittaslow island known for organic produce and windsurfing. We recommend it for travellers who want nature and quiet.
