Imbros

Imbros (Greek: Ίμβρος, romanized: Ímvros; Turkish: İmroz; Ottoman Turkish: ايمروز), officially Gökçeada (lit. 'Heavenly Island') since 29 July 1970, is the largest island of Turkey, located in Çanakkale Province. It is located in the north-northeastern Aegean Sea, at the entrance of Saros Bay, and has the westernmost point of Turkey (Cape İncirburnu). Imbros has an area of 286.8 km² (110.7 sq mi), and has some wooded areas.

As of 2023, the island-district of Gökçeada has a population of 10,721. The main industries of Imbros are fishing and tourism. By the end of the 20th century, the island was predominantly inhabited by settlers from the Turkish mainland that mostly arrived after 1960, with the indigenous Greek population having declined to about 300 persons by the start of the 21st century.

Historically, the island was primarily inhabited by ethnic Greeks since the Iron Age until approximately the 1960s. The Greek Imbriot diaspora is thought to number around 15,000 globally and in Turkey, and has a strong special Imbrian identity. The 2010s saw a tentative revitalisation of the island's remaining Greek community.
