Imbros

Located at the entrance of Saros Bay, Imbros extends across 286 square kilometers with a 91-kilometer coastline and peaks at 672 meters elevation.

The island supported military operations during World War I by providing infrastructure, including a field hospital and an airfield for Allied forces.

Traditional villages like Zeytinli maintain their Greek heritage through architecture, local customs, and the preparation of specialized Dibek coffee.

Visitors reach the island through twice-weekly flights from Istanbul or regular ferry connections departing from the port of Çanakkale.

The waters between Yıldızkoy and Yelkenkaya form Turkey's first Underwater National Park, protecting marine species in their natural environment.
