Gökçeada or Imroz Adasi, the the Greek Imvros (Ίμβρος) or Imbros is a mountainous island a few miles N of the Dardanelles. In prehistoric times (2 century BC), the island was associated with the Kabeiroi or Cabeiri. Their origin is rather obscure, they could be associated with the Great Gods worshipped in Samothrace, or, according to a later source they were the offsprings of Hephaestos.

In ancient times (c 300 BC) there were several temples dedicated to Hermes and a noteworthy aqueduct. The island was colonized by Athenians. During modern times, Imvros (Gökçeada), like it smaller neighbor Tenedos (Bozcaada), it was inhabited by Greeks and it was part of Greece until 1923 when it was ceded to Turkey under the terms of a peace treaty. The Greek inhabitants were not exchanged (as was the case elsewhere) but were allowed to stay and operate their schools and churches. The letter of this treaty was not followed and most Greeks were coerced to leave. Today there are a small (about 300) but very dedicated Greek minority living on the island.

Until a few years ago the island was a military zone and visits by foreign yachts was prohibited. Now yachts are invited.
