Days 9 and 10: Bozcaada(Tenedos) and an island classical; bike again!

Bozcaada from ferry
From Çanakkale, you should come to Geyikli to pass to Bozcaada by ferry. The minibus journey lasts nearly one hour and the ferry half an hour. Despite Gokceada, you directly enter to the island's center at Bozcaada. It is more crowded, more modern and more small than Gokceada. Everybody around me who knows the island again told me that it's impossible for me to see everywhere without a vehicle. So an island classical I again chose to rent a bike. This time I have more condition and the island is smaller. But first, I had to find a place to set up my tent and leave my backpack. I went to the only camping place of the island; Ada Camping. It was a nice and chilled place but On the contrary of what I have thought it was full of families instead of young people. I guess the camping place's bungalows also help this. I reached to the island at the evening so for that evening I chose to see around the camping area and swim at the closest beach. I also had a chance to walk through the bay during sunset.

After an early night I woke up, had my breakfast, went to the island center, rented my bike and set on the road. It took nearly 5 hours to bike all around the island. I couldn't believe myself. This time I didn't even get off the bike at the hills. But I should add, Bozcaada hills are lower than Gokceada. Still I was able to visit nearly all the bays and the wine yards of the island. Yes! Bozcaada is also famous with its wines. It has lots of wineyards. The wind brings two smells to your nose. One is pine, the other is grape. It has a lot of wind but not so many trees. Still I won't forget these two smells of this island and the clear and chilled water of the sea.

For me nature and sea are more important than wine yards. Because of this you'll find more photos of sea and bays here...

I've told you before, Bozcaada has very strong winds. Because of this there is a big wind energy station at the very south point of the island. Especially at winter, it's really hard to reach the island from the main land because of the strong winds.

Bozcaada has two names. One is Bozcaada, the other is Tenedos which comes from Greeks. Its population is nearly 3.000 and its architecture is generally formed from stone or wooden old style houses. Especially at the center of the island, it is very easy to observe and feel this feature.
