Tenedos is roughly triangular in shape. Its area is {{convert|39.9|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="yearbook" /> It is the third largest Turkish island after [[Marmara Island]] and [[Imbros]] (Gökçeada).{{sfn|Yale|2012|ps=}} It is surrounded by small islets, and is situated close to the entrance of the [[Dardanelles]]. It is the only rural district (''[[Districts of Turkey|ilçe]]'') of Turkey without any villages, and has only one major settlement, the town center.

Geological evidence suggests that the island broke away from the mainland producing a terrain that is mainly plains in the west with hills in the Northeast, and the highest point is {{convert|192|m|ft}}. The central part of the island is the most amenable to agricultural activities.{{sfn|Takaoğlu|Bamyacı|2007|ps=}} There is a small pine forest in the Southwestern part of the island.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019|reason=removed citation to predatory publisher content}}  The westernmost part of the island has large sandy areas not suitable for agriculture.{{sfn|Takaoğlu|Bamyacı|2007|ps=}}

The island has a [[Mediterranean climate]] with strong northern winds called [[etesian]]s.{{Citation needed|date=December 2019|reason=removed citation to predatory publisher content}}  Average temperature is {{convert|16|°C|°F}} and the average annual precipitation is around {{convert|500|mm|in}}. There are a number of small streams running from north to south at the southwestern part of the island.{{sfn|Takaoğlu|Bamyacı|2007|ps=}} Freshwater sources though are not enough for the island so water is piped in from the mainland.{{sfn|ALTYAPI DURUMU|ps=}}{{Weather box
