| Traditional Settlements of Gökçeada (Imvros) |
|
 |
Today, only six from the seven traditional villages of Imvros continue to have
inhabitants of Greek origin and of these only Agridia (Tepeköy) village is
populated exclusively by Greeks. There are also five new settlements built by
the state after the 1960s. The traditional architecture of the Greek villages
contains elements of both the Macedonian and Asia Minor traditions and they are
relatively well-preserved. Except Kastro (Kaleköy) village which is inhabited
continuously since the 5th Century B.C., the villages of Schinoudi (Dereköy) and
Aghioi Theodoroi (Zeytinli) are from the beginning of the 16th Century, Agridia
(Tepeköy) village is from the middle of the 17th Century and Panaghia (Merkez)
and Evlambio (Yenimahalle) villages from the beginning of the 18th Century.
