THE BEST PLACE I’VE EVER VISITED
I’m having a fantastic holiday in Bozcaada, Türkiye. It is a place of magic, and I
feel as if I’m in heaven. I’m staying at a small seaside hotel. It’s not very luxurious,
but the rooms are clean and the restaurant serves a variety of seafood. Everything
tastes great because it’s made with fresh vegetables and olive oil.
Yesterday, I rented a bike and went to discover the hidden places in Bozcaada.
Actually, I like driving, but it was a real pleasure to feel the wind in my hair. There
were too many hills to pedal up, but I really enjoyed the wonderful view on my way.
Some of the most well-known beaches in Bozcaada are Ayazma, Mitos and
Tuzburnu. Since it’s September, I’ve decided to skip swimming and explore the
island’s history instead. Tomorrow, I’m planning to visit the historical sites that
represent Ottoman architecture and climb up to Bozcaada Castle to take some
photos. I’ll also watch the sunset at Polente Feneri, a lighthouse on the west side of
the island.
When it comes to shopping, the harbour’s local shops are an excellent choice. I’ve
already bought some jars of delicious tomato jam as a souvenir. These small shops
sell handmade jewellery and various spices, so you won’t have to worry about what
to buy before you leave this peaceful island.
