Bozcaada is a breezy jewel in the Aegean Sea, an island with a magnificent beach that is also known for producing some of the best wines in Turkey. The ambience of Greek and Turkish sensibilities is gracefully combined, evident in the whitewashed houses from which the occasional minaret juts out.
Browse for tempting souvenirs made by local artisans and buy a jar of the island’s delicious tomato jam. Next to the cozy harbor, discover the imposing 15th century castle, one of the best preserved in the country. From the crenellated walls you can look out over the crystal clear sea and imagine Achilles arriving at this place during the legendary Trojan War.
