Gökçeada — also known historically as Imbros — is Turkey's largest island, sitting in the northern Aegean at the entrance to the Gulf of Saros, and holds the distinction of being the world's first and only Cittaslow-certified island, a slow-city designation it received in 2011. The island has a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, a coastline stretching some 91 kilometres, and sits within reach of mountains and the wider Dardanelles region, which borders UNESCO World Heritage territory.
