Bozcaada, Ancient harbor island in Çanakkale Province, Turkey.

Located in the northeastern Aegean Sea, Bozcaada measures 39 square kilometers and features rocky cliffs interspersed with sandy coves along its coastline.

The island played a strategic role during the Trojan War, serving as a concealment point for the Greek fleet as mentioned in Homer's Iliad.

The district maintains a wine-making tradition spanning centuries, with vineyards covering one-third of the island's total surface area.

Regular ferry services connect the island to mainland Turkey through Geyikli port, with a journey time of approximately 35 minutes each way.

The island houses multiple historical windmills, two natural harbors, and incorporates both Greek Orthodox churches and Ottoman mosques within its architecture.
