Yukarı Kaleköy is a historic hilltop village on Gökçeada that offers a captivating journey into antiquity alongside the island’s most famous sunset views. Perched high on a cliff, the village is built around the ancient ruins of Iskiter Castle, which dates back to the Pelasgian period.

It features beautifully preserved Greek stone houses, narrow cobblestone streets, and historical churches like Hagia Marina. The village is celebrated for its charming boutique hotels and cozy cafes where visitors can enjoy traditional Greek coffee under old trees.

It is the ultimate spot on Gökçeada to watch the spectacular sunset over Samothrace Island while listening to the sound of the wind. Sitting directly above the harbor, it provides a breathtaking panoramic view of Lower Kaleköy and the vast Aegean Sea.
