Bozcaada The Church of Mother Mary

The Church of Mother Mary

This is the only church currently open for worship services to Bozcaada’s Orthodox congregation. It is situated in the heart of the Greek neighborhood. The date “1869” posted on its door, its first construction is believed to date back to the Venetian era. Its four-storied bell-and watch-tower was partially dismantled and placed behind wire netting in the 1980’s due to cracking and crumbling of parts caused by corrosion over time. The only time the inside of the church can be seen is during mass Sunday mornings at 8.
