Where to eat in Gökçeada

When you come to Gökçeada, you should know that whether you eat at the restaurants or your hotel, most of what you eat is organic. The island is a pilot region for organic farming, so many things like olives, olive oil, fish, grapes, wine, and honey are organic in Gökçeada.

Everything starts when you wake up to a refreshing breakfast at your hotel in Gökçeada. Natural and varied olives, olive oil, cheese garnished with olive oil and thyme, homemade delicious jams, eggs, and toasted bread...

Additionally, sage and thyme are abundant on the island and are used in almost every meal. You can enjoy molasses, thyme and pine honey, island wine, tomato paste, and plenty of natural fruits like mulberries, figs, and apricots.

Another must-try in Gökçeada is fish. You can enjoy fresh seasonal fish from the Aegean Sea paired with rakı at sunset. Of course, this is accompanied by a variety of olive oil-based appetizers and seafood dishes. The most recommended fish to try on the island is swordfish, prepared with a special recipe unique to Gökçeada.

One of the most famous local dishes on the island is "cicirya", a Greek pizza with cheese. After the pizza, you should also taste vişinada (a sour cherry drink) and rosehip cookies. Other local delicacies include almond dessert, kurkuti (a local dish), octopus stew, and koliva. Apart from these, you can also try Turkish ravioli (mantı), pide (Turkish flatbread), kebabs, and pastries. Kebabs and pides made from the meat of animals fed on the island's organic herbs have a distinct, delicious flavor.

After a day of exploring the island, don't leave without having a foamy cup of dibek coffee and tasting mastic pudding in Zeytinliköy to relax and recharge.

Review view options in Filters. Confirm whether photographs show a shared terrace or your booked room category; do not assume all rooms have the same outlook.

Check child policies in Filters. Confirm room capacity, extra beds, steps and the spaces children will use directly with the hotel before booking.

Decide whether village atmosphere, coastal access or everyday facilities in the island centre matter most. Use Filters to select location and room features, then plan journeys from the ferry terminal to your hotel and beaches separately.

A room with a view, quiet surroundings and dinner options are useful starting points. Select priorities in Filters and confirm that special arrangements and room features are included in your booking.

Review location features in Filters. A sea view does not guarantee direct beach access: ask about swimming suitability, road crossings and beach-use arrangements.

Check current departure points, timetables and reservation rules with the ferry operator. Tell the hotel your expected arrival time and clarify late check-in and cancellation terms in case of delays. Use Filters on this page to compare hotel preferences.

Review child and adult policies in Filters. Minimum ages and admission conditions vary, so confirm suitability for your party directly with the hotel.
