BARBA YORGO  

    He is the dweller of Gökçeada (Imbros) for 4000 years and one of the most lively lover. The name Barba Yorgo is identified with Gökçeada. His real name is Yorgo Zarbozan (Yorgos Zarbuzanis).  

    Yorgo is a chemical engineer. After living 38 years in Istanbul he left his chemical factory which he built with his own hands and went back to Imbros (Gokceada) which his all ancestors were buried. Because for 38 years, Imbros was always entered into Yorgo's dreams. Yorgo settled in Tepeköy (Agridya) where he was born. His village was emptied because of immigration and his house was  turn into a ruin because of not giving enough care. He knows very well that he should work very hard and make a plan. He started work by repairing his father's house and the place where he  spent his childhood. Then, he bought 5-6 houses and repaired them. To make his village lively and to the sake of old days memory he turned these houses into pansion. He opened the only Greek Tavern here and with his words he gave there a live water. While playing wonderful Greek rythms in tavern and in the streets of the village in summer, he presents appetizers which he made with his own hands to the people of the village and to his guests. Yorgo's sea product appetizers, octopus, calamary, squid, meat stew with onions, sea-urchin, mussels, shrimpes, fishes add a new taste.  

    He didn't end up with this. And he established one new thing to Gokceada. He established "the first home made wine factory".  

    With his smiling face, meaningful conversations, sincerity and beautiful wine he gave people unforgettable moments while he sips his wine which he produced by himself he said that "one glass to customer, one glass to me."  

    One day if you go to Gokceada and sip his beautiful wine in his very clean, modern decorated pansion which is settled on the hill of the highest mountain in Tepeköy you will start walking to explore the source of happiness.
