Bozca Ada and Karayer Adalari TU
Bozca Ada and Karayer Adalari TU
These islands are located just outside of the Dardanelles, a strategically important strait controlling access to Istanbul and ultimately the Black Sea. Many ships transporting a number of resources pass within close proximity to these islands. Currently, the islands are used as tourist destinations. The small islands to the north, Karayer Adalari, are located even closer to the entrance to the Dardanelles.
Directly opposite the eastern shore of the island is the reputed location of the ancient city of Troy. These islands were used during the Trojan Wars, according to historians of the period.
I will aim you to one web site that claims to be the ultimate Bozca Ada link. It is an informative site for the casual cyber visitors and would be productive for the tourist anticipating a visit.
I primarily used Google Earth - Digital Globe imagery for this project. It allowed me to accomplish some detailed mapping - Bozca Ada Village, for example. Nothing too fancy, but a good map.
Enjoy!
PS - This island is also known as Tenedos. However, since Turkey rules, Bozca Ada is the correct name.
