We are going on a journey of discovery full of nature and history to Gökçeada, the largest and most untouched island of the Aegean! On this three-day adventure, we will explore the island's unique geological formations, reach back millions of years in fossil deposits and hike through breathtaking landscapes. On the first day, on our route from the north to the south of the island, we will trace ancient fossils by crossing the hills and discover the stone tool production areas of 8 thousand years ago. On the second day, on our walk from Yıldızkoy to Eski Bademli, we will visit historical villages accompanied by the most beautiful views of the island. On the third day, on our route starting from Tepeköy and reaching Marmaros Waterfall, we will observe the different geological worlds of the island and crown our journey with the sunset at the westernmost tip of Turkey, Hidden Harbour.
Gökçeada from North to South
On this day, we will walk about 15 kilometres on our route that blends magnificent landscapes and geological formations. Starting from Kuzu harbour, our walk will pass over a mound and visit a fossil bed with creatures that lived about 40 million years ago, and we will see the traces of the tectonic processes that caused the island to take its current shape. Then we will walk along the road and drink our coffee with a magnificent view at a point overlooking Kuzulimanı and its surroundings from above. After the break, we have a slope descent of about 2 kilometres. Here we will walk towards the south of the island, again accompanied by a magnificent view. We will stop in front of the pyroclastic flows opposite the small church on the plain, which is evidence that this area was once a ring of fire, and we will make a detailed examination. After this stage, we will slowly ascend and reach the hill. We will also have a view break here. We will continue walking with the view of the south of the island and visit the fossilised trees of a forest that existed on the island about 23 million years ago. Then we will visit the workshop where the tools used as chisels by the islanders who lived on the island 8 thousand years ago were extracted, and we will see the splinters left over from the tools extracted 8 thousand years ago. Then we will reach our car waiting for us and return to the hotel. Free time in the evening...

Yıldızkoy - Old Bademli
Our walk starting from Yıldızkoy will continue ascending on a rough road. As we ascend, a bird's eye view of the island will be revealed. When we climb the ridge connecting the two peaks, we will be greeted by the magnificent view of the island of Samothrace and will constantly accompany us during this stage of the walk. This will end at a peak with an altitude of about 500 metres. After visiting a small building near the summit, which was once used intensively, we will walk to the other summit and from there we will go down to the village of Eski bademli and have a tea break. After the break, we will explore this village with the most beautiful view of the island.
We will end this day by going to the hidden harbour and setting the sun at the westernmost tip of Turkey...

Tepeköy- Marmaros Waterfall Walk
The island of Samothrace will never leave us alone in our event that will start from the monumental plane tree in Tepeköy. In the first stage of this event, there will be rock climbs and descents, albeit easy. After our break at the summit of Ulukaya hill, the second highest peak of the island, we will cross the hill with a traverse and descend to the dirt road from Tepeköy. Our walk continues on the road for a short while. After a short while we will take a break in an old plateau. Then we will continue our walk and go to Marmaros waterfall. We will carefully descend the steep path next to the waterfall. The waterfall is both visually and scientifically important. Here we will see how two different geological worlds come together. After the waterfall, we will walk about 2 kilometres to reach our vehicle and go to Dereköy, which was once the largest village in Turkey with 1900 households. After a tea break here, we will explore the village starting from the laundry.
