Anemos Hotel

Top choice in Thrace & Marmara


Anemos means 'wind' in Turkish, and this hotel certainly brought the winds of change to Gökçeada. It's responsible for introducing the concept of the boutique hotel and has attracted clients from the mainland who would previously have headed to style-setting Bodrum for their vacations. Ground-floor basic rooms are smallish, standards are spacious, and superiors are large (some have private terraces). All are well appointed.

Views from the expansive pool terrace are utterly gorgeous, service is excellent, and meals made with locally grown organic produce are available. The breakfast buffet is lavish and delicious.
