Getting here

You reach the island by ferry from the Geyikli pier. Overland to the pier, from the pier to the house: the whole journey is below.

Overland to Geyikli
1 hour from Çanakkale
From central Çanakkale to the Geyikli pier by car or bus. About 5 hours from Istanbul.
Geyikli pier
30 min before departure
If you’re taking a car across, join the queue early; you can also leave your car in the pier car park.
Ferry
About 35 min
Foot passenger tickets are sold at the pier. If the poyraz is strong, sailings may be delayed; we’ll let you know.
Bozcaada pier
We meet you
Tell us which ferry you’re on and we’ll wait at the pier and carry your luggage.
Sekiz Rüzgâr
6 min walk
Past the castle into the Greek quarter; the house is two streets above the market street.

Ferry times

When you book, we ask which ferry you’re taking; you can pick one of these times or say “Not sure yet”.

Returning from Bozcaada

Sample sailing times; summer and winter timetables differ.

Once we know your ferry time, we’ll wait at the pier and carry your luggage to the house. If the time changes, just write to us.

Sample perks.

By car
The island is small; you hardly need a car. If you bring one, the car queue can be long in summer.
By plane
The nearest airport is Çanakkale; from there it’s about an hour by car to the Geyikli pier.
Windy days
When the poyraz blows very hard, sailings may be delayed. On a day like that we’ll call you and find a new time together.
