There
is a continous life for approximately 5000 years on Bozcaada.
Pelasginas are the first inhabitants of the island. After these
first inhabitants persians, romans, byzantians, genoese and
venetians also settled on the island. After 1453, the capture

If
you are looking for a calm and peaceful time, in a unique setting
of pine groves, vineyards, rich history, serene beaches and
coves, clean air, scrumptious seafood, and deliciously tempting
wine… then the tiny island of Bozcaada may be just what
the doctor ordered. If you want to experience the “White
Cliffs of Dover”, the “Wine Country of Provence”,
and the” 
Idyllic
Beaches of the Tropics” all in one day, then this secret
paradise at the mouth of the Dardanelles awaits you. For some
Bozcaada is the “Tenedos” of Homer – the extension
of the ancient city of Troy, just a stone-throw away. The battlefields
of Gallipoli can be reached in two hours. For others it is the
secret they would like to keep under wraps and not share with
anyone. But in the end everyone creates their own Bozcaada,
because this magical island with a permanent population of 2500
– which skyrockets to 15000 in the summer months –
appeals to every taste and state of mind.
It
welcomes you in its crystal clear azure waters, and on its golden
sandy beaches, and lets its island breeze gently caress you
and cool you down, even on the hottest summer day. This tiny
island covers an area of 36 square miles and has a coast line
of 14 miles covered by tiny coves and beaches, and from its
summit [Goztepe 192meters], you can see on a clear 
day
as far as the Greek islands of Lesbos, Limnos, Avios Evstratios,
and the Turkish Island of Gokceada. Once you taste the calamari
and its local wine, you will be hooked for life. It has a selection
of camp and picnic sites, and even during the crowded times
it is possible to find a secluded beach and enjoy the solitude
and peace. In this region, where fish is plentiful, you can
enjoy recreational fishing from a boat, as well as under water,
and at the same time enjoy recreational diving in crystal clear
waters rich in natural beauty, as well as shipwrecks. The island
is as such situated in an ideal location for underwater sports,
and is a favorite of deep-sea divers.
Great
progress has been made in recent years, on this island with
its authentic and well-preserved architecture. Roads reaching
even the most remote areas of the island, well maintained and
preserved natural beaches, clean water and power connections
from the mainland have added much to the appeal of this paradise.
Add to that a natural, invigorating cooling system – the
constant northerly wind called “Poyraz” by the locals
– and the not so salty and cool waters, providing fresh
seafood like lobster, crayfish, mussels, and clams, and we have
ourselves a winner par excellence.
