Tour Program
Dear guests, our journey begins after we greet you at the specified stops in the early hours of the morning. After our breakfast break at our restaurant during the journey, we reach the charming place of Geyikli İskelesi, where the film “Eyvah Eyvah” was filmed, and we enter the ferry terminal to reach Bozcaada. After approximately a 45-minute ferry ride, we arrive at Bozcaada. Known in ancient times as Tenedos and famous for its vineyards, Bozcaada was used as the headquarters by the A.N.Z.A.C. Corps fighting on behalf of the British during the Gallipoli Campaign. We start exploring Bozcaada. Our first stop will be Bozcaada Castle, which has been under the rule of many administrations including the Genoese, Venetians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. After our visit here, we head to the first mosque of Bozcaada, Alaybey Mosque. Here we also see the courtyard where the graves of 14 individuals who contributed to the Ottoman Empire are located. After visiting the mosque, we will walk through the colorful Historical Greek Houses of Bozcaada, which were left abandoned after the Greek population, comprising 80% of Bozcaada’s population during the Ottoman period, migrated to Western Thrace following the population exchange. This walk will leave a mark on our memories. We then visit Çiçek Pastry Shop, where the local delicacies, known as Almond Cookies, are made. Don’t forget to taste the mouthwatering almond cookies. Our next stop will be to see the Greek Orthodox Church, Meryemana Church. After that, we have free time for shopping in Bozcaada’s market, where we recommend local wines and tomato jams. Then, we head to Bozcaada Harbor and take the ferry back to Geyikli, and from there, we start our journey towards İzmir. After the breaks we take along the way, we arrive in İzmir at around 11:00 PM and bid farewell to you, our esteemed guests, hoping to meet you in another İzmir Port Travel program.
