A village whose name means 'paradise stream', on the slope where Ganos Dağı descends to the sea, with old stone houses and vineyards.

Safety warning

The road down to the village is steep and winding; drive carefully in rainy weather.

Its story

Uçmakdere's Greek name is Avdimio; its present name comes from the Old Turkish word 'uçmak', meaning paradise. In the period when Greeks lived here, it was an important wine-producing center; the vineyards and stone houses on the slope reflect this past. It is reached from Tekirdağ via Kumbağ and Yeniköy along a forest road. The steep slopes, vineyards running down to the sea and quiet village streets are ideal for photography and walking.
