EDITORS COMMENTS
Tenedos, also known as Bozcaada, is a beautiful island located in the Canakkale province of Turkey. This photograph, taken circa 1920, showcases the picturesque harbor and fortress of Tenedos. During the early 20th century, Tenedos was under Greek administration, having been ceded to Greece according to the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. The treaty marked the end of Ottoman rule and the emergence of the Turkish Republic. The image reveals the quaint quayside, with its quaint wooden boats and stone buildings, nestled against the clear blue waters of the harbor. The fortress, a testament to the island's rich history, looms in the background. Its imposing walls and towers stand proudly, reminding us of the strategic importance of this island throughout the centuries. Tenedos has a long and fascinating history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to ancient times. The island was a significant trading center and a strategic military outpost, with control over the sea route between the Aegean and the Black Seas. The fortress was built to protect the island from various invaders, including the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. Despite the changes in political control, Tenedos continues to be a popular destination for visitors seeking to explore its rich history and natural beauty. The island's charming harbor, with its colorful boats and welcoming atmosphere, remains a favorite among travelers, offering a glimpse into the past while providing a relaxing retreat in the present.
