Tepeköy (Agridia)
Tepeköy / Αγρίδια
A stone-built Greek village on a hillside, formerly known as Agridia. Its evening taverns and views over the reservoir are the highlights.
Tepeköy is the village on the island where the most Greek-descended residents have remained. Its stone houses are stacked up the slope, and the village has a restored church, a square and a primary school. Family-run taverns serve Greek-style mezes, grilled lamb and local wine, and the summer evenings are lively. Family guesthouses offer places to stay. Around 15 August, for the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, islanders who have moved to Greece and Istanbul return home for religious processions and dances. Viewpoints overlook the reservoir and valley, and the view at sunset is especially beautiful. The village is about 8 km from the island's main town, so you need to drive or cycle there.
