Gökçeada Yıldız Apart Otel is a budget apart hotel located in Kuzu Limanı (Lamb Harbour) on Gökçeada, the largest island in Turkey and an administrative part of Çanakkale province. Gökçeada sits in the northern Aegean approximately 35 km southwest of Çanakkale by sea, reached by ferry from the port of Kabatepe on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The island has retained a distinct character compared to more developed Aegean destinations, with Greek Orthodox heritage villages, organic olive groves, windmills, and quiet beaches that attract travellers seeking an unhurried atmosphere far removed from the coastal resort mainstream. Kuzu Limanı is the island's main harbour settlement and the arrival point for ferries; the apart hotel is conveniently placed for guests disembarking from the Çanakkale-area ferry connections. The property offers Standard rooms, Studio apartments, and larger Apartment units; studios and apartments include a kitchenette, making it well-suited for families or self-catering travellers on multi-day island stays. A garden area provides outdoor space, and parking is available on-site for guests transporting vehicles on the ferry. Free Wi-Fi is provided. The island's beaches — including Aydıncık, Kapıkaya, and Gözce — are accessible by road from Kuzu Limanı. Organic olive oil and locally produced cheese are island specialties available at the small market in the village. Gökçeada's deliberately low-key tourism character means restaurant options are limited outside summer months; the apart hotel's kitchen facilities provide a degree of self-sufficiency appropriate to this environment.
