ABUNDANT OXYGEN, PRISTINE BEACHES
Many things can be said about Gökçeada, also known as Imroz. Oxygen capital of the world, where the four winds vie for dominion. Exclusive habitat of the jujube tree whose fruit is a cross between the wild olive and cornelian cherry. An emerald green paradise pervaded by pine, cedar and beech. Turkey 's largest island, and the world's fourth most water abundant island... A treasure-house harbouring numerous attractions from Roman graves and castles whose past is shrouded in mystery to modern buildings and a Bronze Age mound. There are pure sand beaches, each one more beautiful than the last, on Gökçeada, which is a haven for city dwellers seeking refuge from the urban rat race. On the south side of the island is the Aydincik coast, known as the Patara of the northern Aegean . Marmaros Beach on the northwest side is another ideal spot for swimming. More coves just made for swimmers are Yildiz Koyu and Mavi Koy near the village of Kaleköy . And plunging into the waters at Laz Koyu or Gizli Liman at Ince Burun, Turkey's westernmost point, affords a pleasure all its own.
