Imbros and Tenedos
Imbros and Tenedos are the ancient names of Gökçeada and Bozcaada, two neighboring Aegean islands which belong to Turkey.
They have been treated or considered together for various purposes at different times: in the Treaty of Lausanne of 1923; in a 2008 Council of Europe report, as Gökçeada and Bozcaada (and these alternative names in parentheses);[1] and as a Metropolis of the Greek Orthodox church.[2]
