Bozcaada the Greek Tenedos (Τένεδος) is a small island with a long history. In ancient times it was associated with Apollo and the Trojan War, when the Greeks used it as base. It was here that they retired to after leaving the Trojan horse as a "gift." During the Byzantine times it was used as a grain depot so that large ships could unload their grain and not go to Constantinople through the Dardanelles.

Tenedos Harbor from the Castle

The large castle that dominates the small town was built by the Genoese during the end of the Byzantine era. During modern times it was inhabited by Greeks and it was part of Greece until 1923 when it was ceded to Turkey (together with Ibroz or Imvros) under the terms of a peace treaty. The Greek inhabitants were not exchanged (as was the case elsewhere) but were allowed to stay and operate their schools and churches. Over the years most Greeks have left. The island is well known for its vineyards and production of wine.

The island was a military zone and visits by foreign yachts were discouraged until recently were discouraged. Now yachts are invited. The harbor has very clear and attractive water. The town is slowly being restored, and is fashionable with wealthy people from Istanbul. There are many old interesting houses and buildings.
