Bozcaada district
A charming wine island in the northern Aegean Sea, where Greek-style old streets, a seaside castle, and a sunset lighthouse will capture your heart.
Bozcaada is located in the northern Aegean Sea of Turkey, near the coast of Çanakkale, and is a small island famous for its vineyards. Bozcaada Castle by the harbor is imposing, the Greek Quarter and the Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God retain their old-world charm, and the Local History Museum offers insights into the island's past. Local wineries offer tastings of island wines, Ayazma and Sulubahçe beaches feature crystal-clear waters and clean sand, and Polente Lighthouse at the western end is a prime spot for watching the sunset. May to October is the best time to visit, with early autumn marking the grape harvest. You can take a ferry from Geyikli to reach the island.
