'''Tenedos''' ({{Langx|el|Τένεδος}}, ''Tenedhos''; {{Langx|la|Tenedus}}), or '''Bozcaada''' in [[Turkish language|Turkish]], is an island of [[Turkey]] in the northeastern part of the [[Aegean Sea]]. Administratively, the island constitutes the [[Bozcaada, Çanakkale|Bozcaada district]] of [[Çanakkale Province]]. With an area of {{convert|39.9|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}}, it is the third-largest Turkish island after [[Imbros]] (Gökçeada) and [[Marmara Island|Marmara]].<ref name="yearbook">{{Cite web | url = https://kutuphane.tuik.gov.tr/pdf/0022025.pdf | title = Turkey's Statistical Yearbook 2013 | year = 2014 |page = 7| publisher = [[Turkish Statistical Institute]] | language = Turkish, English}}</ref> In 2022, the district had a population of 3,120 inhabitants.<ref name=tuik>{{Cite web |title=Address-based population registration system (ADNKS) results dated 31 December 2022, Favorite Reports|url=https://biruni.tuik.gov.tr/medas/?kn=95&locale=en |access-date=19 September 2023|publisher=[[TÜİK]]|language=en|format=XLS}}</ref> The main industries are tourism, wine production and fishing.

Tenedos is mentioned in both the ''[[Iliad]]'' and the ''[[Aeneid]]'', in the latter as the site where the [[Achaeans (Homer)|Greeks]] hid their fleet near the end of the [[Trojan War]] in order to trick the [[Troy|Trojans]] into believing the war was over and into taking the [[Trojan Horse]] within their city walls. Despite its small size, the island was important throughout [[classical antiquity]] due to its strategic location at the entrance of the [[Dardanelles]]. In the following centuries, the island came under the control of a succession of regional powers, including the [[Persian Empire]], the [[Delian League]], the empire of [[Alexander the Great]], the [[Attalid kingdom]], the [[Roman Empire]] and its successor, the [[Byzantine Empire]], before passing to the [[Republic of Venice]]. As a result of the [[War of Chioggia]] (1381) between [[Genoa]] and [[Venice]] the entire population was evacuated and the town was demolished. The [[Ottoman Empire]] established control over the deserted island in 1455. During Ottoman rule, it was resettled by both Greeks and Turks. In 1807, the island was temporarily occupied by the [[Russian Empire|Russians]]. During this invasion the town was burnt down and many Turkish residents left the island.

Under Greek administration between 1912 and 1923, Tenedos was ceded to Turkey with the [[Treaty of Lausanne]] (1923) which ended the [[Turkish War of Independence]] following the [[dissolution of the Ottoman Empire]] in the aftermath of [[World War I]]. The treaty called for a quasi-autonomous administration to accommodate the local Greek population and excluded the [[Greeks]] on the two islands of [[Imbros]] and Tenedos from the wider [[population exchange between Greece and Turkey|population exchanges]] that took place between Greece and Turkey. Tenedos remained majority Greek until the late 1960s and early 1970s, when many Greeks emigrated because of better opportunities elsewhere. Starting with the second half of the 20th century, there has been immigration from mainland [[Anatolia]], especially [[Romani people in Turkey|Romani]] from the town of [[Bayramiç]].
