Bozcaada

“In sight lies Tenedos, an island known far and wide by fame…” Virgil tells us in his epic, the ‘Aeneid’. The Achaeans, who had besieged Troy for ten years, finally devised a trick: leaving a wooden horse on the shore, they hid with their ships behind this island. While the Trojans rejoiced that the enemy had sailed away, the ships lay waiting for nightfall in the shadow of Tenedos… So this quiet island was the backstage of history’s most famous trick; it played its first great role not on the stage, but behind the curtain.
