About

Diese bezaubernde Ägäisinsel fasziniert Besucher mit ihren unberührten Stränden, der historischen venezianischen Burg und erstklassigen Weingütern, die außergewöhnliche lokale Jahrgänge produzieren. Die griechisch geprägte Architektur der Insel mit bunten Häusern entlang gepflasterter Straßen schafft eine zeitlose mediterrane Atmosphäre, die perfekt für einen friedlichen Rückzugsort ist.

Bozcaada is an island in the Aegean Sea, off the western coast of Turkey. It sits in the part of the country that lies on the European side of the Dardanelles, so a visit here is a gentle way to see how the Aegean has long joined Anatolia and the Balkans.

What to see

  • Pristine beaches line parts of the coast, suited to a slow day by the water.

  • A historic Venetian castle stands on the island, a reminder of the many hands that have shaped its past.

  • Wineries produce local vintages, and tasting them is one of the island's main pleasures.

The feel of the place

The island's architecture carries a clear Greek influence. Houses in bright colours line the cobbled streets, and the overall effect is calm and unhurried, with a Mediterranean character that suits anyone looking for a quiet break rather than a busy itinerary.

Visitors who like to walk will find the town centre easy to explore on foot, stopping at the castle, the lanes of painted houses and the wine producers along the way. Those who prefer to rest can spend most of their time at the shore.

Is it for you?

Bozcaada suits travellers who want a peaceful retreat, good local wine and a setting shaped by centuries of island life. If you are planning a trip around Turkey's Aegean coast, it offers a restful contrast to larger cities and resorts nearby.
