Bozcaada Museum
This privately run museum, in an old house in the middle of town, is crammed with moving artefacts from the rich history of the island.
Bozcaada was formerly Tenedos, where the Greek fleet retired to await developments after delivering the Wooden Horse to the shores of nearby Troy. It was also an allied billet during the Gallipoli Campaign. There are wonderfully evocative photographs, not least from Magnum photograph Ara Guler’s visit in 1955, and exquisite period collections of shop contents of the island barber and blacksmith. Most moving of all is the collection of old iron keys entitled Our Neighbours, each labelled with the name of an island Greek – Filo Yarinaki, Andonia Kalfa, Yorgi Istilari – who left in the troubled 1960s to make lives elsewhere.
