where to stay

When you decide to visit Gökçeada you have to think over carefully where to stay. Gökçeada is much bigger than Bozcaada and there are many opportunities outside the city centre to spend the night. Because of its size and diversity it would be of great advantage to study the map of the island before making a decision, taking into consideration all distances.

İf you want to spend your holiday swimming or surfing in beautiful blue bays it would be the best to stay in the south of the island around the Aydıncık and Yuvalı Beaches area.

Are you more attracted to diving into communal life the best places to stay are the City Centre, Yeni Bademli, or Kaleköy Pier.

For experiencing a nostalgic and authentic atmosphere one should definitely stay at one of the Greek villages.

You can have a really affordable vacation on this island by staying at one of the home pensions, and minimizing transportation costs by getting free rides from the locals because they simply insist on taking you along when they see you walking. 
Even though the majority of Gökçeada people do not speak English, they are very friendly to foreigners with their unspoiled hospitality.
