Gökçeada - Sleeping & Eating
The old fashioned ev pansiyonu (home pension), which has virtually died out elsewhere, is still alive and kicking on Gökçeada.
It's not unusual for locals to approach and offer you a spare room in their house, for considerably less than the prices charged by pensions and hotels.
