Cunda…Throughout ages it has been given different names to this island. Nesos, Hekatos, Moshinostu….
The last name, which means ‘Beautiful Smell’, was given by Greeks of Anatolia who lived untigl 1924. After that Cunda has been populated with Turks coming from Greece, Lesbos and Macedonia.
Whatever name has been given to Cunda, it has its unchanged characteristics. Narrow streets, stone houses, olive oil, papalina, cats
Another place to visit in the island is Taksiyarhis Church. Constructed in 1873, church has been the major worship place for Greeks living around that area. Today it is impossible to step inside cause it is about to collapse, because of not enough care by Turkish authorities.
