Excursion Bozcaada on foot tour at Bozcaada

Explore the beautiful town of Bozcaada on a leisurely walking tour.

Bozcaada Castle

Start with a walk to the Bozcaada Castel, which dominates the northeastern end of the island. The current structure was built during the reign of Mahmut II. Have the chance to climb the walls for excellent views of the marina and town center.

Refreshment

After your castle visit, stop for a cooling drink of local wine or beer at a traditional café in the town center, before discovering the magic of Bozcaada's Turkish and Greek districts.

Turkish and Greek Districts

Bozcaada's Greek and Turkish traditions have greatly influenced the island's culture. Though the island's longtime Greek residents have moved away, Bozcaada's Greek district still retains its original street plan and traditional Greek homes. The Turkish district has a completely different look and feel with beautiful mosques, narrow streets, fountains, and hammams.

Time at leisure in Town

At the end of the tour, enjoy some free time to discover the town or return to the ship.

Note

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking, at times over cobblestoned streets. Comfortable walking shoes and conservative attire are recommended. Please bear in mind that the island is small; guides and transportation have to come from the mainland and therefore are available only in limited supply. Sights can become very busy in the summer as it is a popular seaside resort for local tourists. Order of sights may vary.
