Uğurlu
A seaside village on the western side of Gökçeada, with a long beach and simple restaurants. The hill behind the village, with its monastery, is one of the island's top sunset spots.
Uğurlu is a seaside village on the western side of Gökçeada. A long, wide beach stretches along its front, with clear water. Along the shore you'll find simple restaurants, guesthouses and campsites, and in summer it's a common stop for visitors touring the island by car.
In the evening, drive or walk up Manastır Tepesi (Monastery Hill) behind the village. It overlooks the Aegean and, in the distance, Samothrace, and is widely regarded as one of the island's best sunset viewpoints. From here you can continue to Kuzulimanı, the secluded bay at the island's western tip.
It's about 20 km from the town center. Public transport on the island runs very infrequently, so driving or renting a motorbike is recommended. In the off-season, most shops are closed.
