Heaven on Earth - BOZCAADA

    Bozcaada is the third largest island of Turkey after Gokceada and Marmara Island. It is located on the Aegean Sea and from the island it is possible to see some of Greece's islands such as Limnos and M. Athos. They are very close to each other and because of that, every year, especially in the summer, a lot of tourists, which come from different cities and islands of Greece, come to see the natural beauty of the island.

Actually, at the first look the island seems very arid because of the wind, which is effective in all seasons and dries all the leaves of plants on the island. Furthermore, the name of island comes from this feature of island, because it seems also brown and dark yellow from a distance even though there are a lot of different plant species such as thyme, basil and maquis on the island.

All these plants have their own special odours, which create a different, impressive and soothing aura on the island and when this aura merges with the beautiful sea and all of the undisturbed seashores of the island, it is not possible to be tense or unhappy anywhere on the island.

On the island, there are a of beautiful houses, which seem like some art pieces. Red, blue and white are the mos popular colours at the center of the island and the harmony of these colours makes peopel happy and peaceful. Furthermore, there are not any buildings, which have more than three flats. Because of that, the landscape of the island is very ordinate, too.

To be honest, Bozcaada is the one of the most beautiful places in Turkey and I think, everyone should visit Bozcaada at least one time in their lives. I really feel alive and hopeful, when I am there.
