As of 1920, the British were calling Gemlik, Geumlek in publications.[1]

Climate

Gemlik borders the Sea of Marmara. It exhibits typical Mediterranean weather with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.

Geography

Gemlik is bordered on three sides by mountains, with the Samanli Mountains lying to the west. To its west lies the Sea of Marmara. There is a large plain spanning much of the east end of Gemlik to the coast. Karsak Stream, which originates at İznik Lake, divides this plain into two parts.

The coast of Gemokk is straight, except around Kayikhane.

The gulf of Gemlik, often called Incir port or Kilyos (in reference to the ancient name of the town), is 35 km from east to west, 10–15 km from north to south, and 100-150 meters deep. Tuzla and Kapakli lie at either end of the gulf. For many years, this gulf had been used for docking ships, but now it serves as a tourist attraction.

The largest river in the area is Karsak, near İznik Lake. Another river, Koca stream, is near Engürücük.

History

For the site's history before 1922, see Kios.

As of 1920, Gemlik was estimated to have a population of 5,000. At that time, it had a naval yard that was no longer in use.[1] On September 11, 1922, Gemlik's remaining Greek citizens were forced to flee to Greece due to pressure by Turkey to abandon the area.
