Imbros or İmroz, officially changed to Gökçeada since July 29, 1970, is the largest island of Turkey and the seat of Gökçeada District of Çanakkale Province.

According to the 2011 census, the island-district of Gökçeada has a population of 8,210. The main industries of Imbros are fishing and tourism. The population is predominantly Turkish but there are still about 250 Greeks on Imbros, most of them elderly. The island was primarily inhabited by ethnic Greeks from ancient times through to approximately the middle of the twentieth century, when many emigrated to Greece, western Europe, the United States and Australia, due to a campaign of state-sponsored discrimination. The island is noted for its vineyards and wine production.
