Bozcaada is located 12 miles from the Ãanakkale Strait and extends over an area of around 40 square kilometers, roughly in the shape of a triangle one edge of which is parallel to mainland coast. The islanders make their living from viticulture, fishing and tourism.
The sole town of the island—home to about 2,000 people—lies on its northeastern corner, facing the mainland. The rest of the island is covered by vineyards, scattered pine woods, and Mediterranean shrubland maquis, dotted by the occasional vineyard manor and, close to the coastline, housing estates used by mainland Turks as vacation homes.
