Tepeköy, also known by its former Greek name Agrídia (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Αγρίδια), is a village on the island of Imbros in northwestern Turkey. It is part of the Gökçeada District of Çanakkale Province.[2] Its population is 177 (2022).
It is located 8 km west of the only town of the island, Çınarlı (or in Greek Panagia Balomeni), and 14 km west from the central port of the island.[3] It stands at an altitude of approximately 280m nearby Kastri hill.
The village had a total population of 177 in 2022, a notable increase since 2007, when it only had 125 inhabitants. It is one of the few predominantly Greek Orthodox settlements in Turkey, with the Greek population ranging at around 75%, and has a Greek mayor, Dimitrios Psaros.[4] [5] A Greek Orthodox Church dedicated to the Annunciation lies within the village.[6] A Greek minority high school and junior high school are operating in the village since 2015.
