Bozcaada, the Greek [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenedos Tenedos] (Τένεδος), situated 10 miles SSW of the entrance to the Dardanelles, is a Turkish island with a long history. In ancient times it was associated with [http://www.maicar.com/GML/Apollo.html Apollo] and the [http://www.maicar.com/GML/TrojanWar.html Trojan War], when the Greeks used it as a base. It was here that they retired after leaving the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse Trojan horse] as a "gift." During the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Empire Byzantine] times it was used as a grain depot so that large ships could unload their grain and not have to pass to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantinople Constantinople] through the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dardanelles Dardanelles].

The approaches to Bozcaada from S and W are straightforward, with few dangers.  However, the coast of the island is rock-fringed and should not be approached too closely on passage.  In the approach from N, there are extensive shoals around the small island of Tavşan Adasi which should be given a good clearance and others extending up to two miles from the northern coast of Bozcaada.

The island of Bozcaada or Tenedos (Τένεδος) used to be a military zone and visits by foreign yachts were discouraged until recent years. Now yachts are positively encouraged as a useful source of income (see below for charges). The harbor has very clear and attractive water. The town is slowly being restored, and is fashionable with wealthy people from Istanbul. There are many interesting old houses and buildings.

History

Bozcaada, the Greek Tenedos (Τένεδος), situated 10 miles SSW of the entrance to the Dardanelles, is a Turkish island with a long history. In ancient times it was associated with Apollo and the Trojan War, when the Greeks used it as a base. It was here that they retired after leaving the Trojan horse as a "gift." During the Byzantine times it was used as a grain depot so that large ships could unload their grain and not have to pass to Constantinople through the Dardanelles.

The large castle that dominates the small town was built by the Genoese at the end of the Byzantine era. In modern times the island was inhabited by Greeks and was part of Greece until 1923, when it was ceded to Turkey (together with Ibroz or Imvros) under the terms of the peace treaty. The Greek inhabitants were not exchanged (as was the case elsewhere) but were allowed to stay and operate their schools and churches. Over the years, and particularly since the start of the Cyprus problem, most Greeks have left. The island is still well known for its vineyards and production of wine.

Places to Visit

The large and well-preserved Genoese castle, which also has a small museum, is worth a visit. The old Greek town is attractive, with narrow picturesque streets. But very few of the Greeks are still remaining.

The island is renowned for its red wines, which can be tasted and purchased in the main square.

  • I loved this out of the main stream island. Wonderful walks. The harbor is so clean you can jump into the cool water right from your boat. --Istioploos 16:42, 25 June 2008 (MDT)
  • A few laid moorings have been installed along the quay and anchoring is now prohibited. If a mooring is not available, yachts lie alongside wherever there is space. --Athene of Lymington 10:22, 14 May 2011 (BST)
  • Beautiful clean water. Lovely collection of restaurants and wine bars. ,--Monterey May 2013.
  • Really liked it, officials very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Great stop on way to Çanakkale. 100 TL per night incl. Water & Elect. Heavy SE wind made getting off quay difficult. - s/y Cisco II --Sandybig - 3 June 2019
