Why Bozcaada?

If you ask when to visit Bozcaada, our answer is: any time of year. With its beautiful atmosphere in autumn, spring, winter and summer alike, Bozcaada is a route every traveller should take.

However scorching the summer heat, there is always a breeze on Bozcaada. With bays as clear as an aquarium, beaches, vineyards, wines and festivals, here are the nine best reasons to come.

1. No chaos here

The moment you step onto the island you will feel at the centre of tranquillity. The bazaar is small and closed to traffic, so you will find none of the chaos of classic resorts.

2. Art in every form

From ceramic artists to painters and filmmakers, many notable creative people live on Bozcaada and contribute to its life.

3. The bay with the shipwreck

In Beylik Bay on the island's south coast lies the wreck of a huge cargo ship. Swimming beside it is an experience unlike any other.

4. Learn to surf

Bozcaada's wind makes it one of Türkiye's key spots for kite and windsurfing. After a few days of lessons you can make your first run.

5. Polente Lighthouse

When it comes to sunsets in Türkiye, Bozcaada comes first to mind. Watching the sun go down in front of the Polente Lighthouse, among vineyards and wind turbines, is reason enough to come.

6. The famous cookies

The cookies of Bozcaada — ancient Tenedos — are famous. Everyone who visits takes some home.

7. Stay in a Greek house

Almost all the island's houses are historic Greek houses with a distinctive architecture inside and out. Our hotel offers a stay in keeping with this heritage.

8. Get lost in the streets

Bozcaada's streets are narrow, charming and colourful. Walking the flower-scented cobbled lanes feels like travelling through time.

9. Organic breakfasts

On the island you will find every kind of jam, from tomato to fig, and enjoy handmade breakfasts. Our own open-buffet village breakfast in the garden will be among the highlights of your holiday.
