It is accepted that the oldest inhabitants of the island, whose old name is Imbros, are the Plasglares. The island, which remained under the rule of Athens until the Roman rule, passed to the Ottoman Empire with the conquest of Istanbul in 1453, then remained under Greek occupation for a while and was taken to the borders of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 with the Treaty of Lausanne. Although it is the largest island in Turkey, it also has the title of 'the place where the sun sets last'. The island is only accessible by sea, and there are ferry services from Kabatepe Port and Çanakkale Center. With the olives obtained from the 300-400-year-old olive trees on the island, organic agriculture, which has been focused on recently, has many natural products, especially olive oil. Gökçeada, which is an ideal place for surfing with its windy climate and clean sea, has also diversified the resources of its economy with sheep and goat breeding on the island.
