Oikos Bozcaada

If happiness has countless faces, Bozcaada is probably one of them.

A trip to Bozcaada is full of life and flavor... Oikos is located in the İğdelik area, close to the center of the island. Tolga, who worked for many years in the corporate world, and his sister Melis, a designer, are siblings who beautify and bring joy to everything they touch. In Oikos, with its impressive location - nestled in nature, in an extremely large and well-kept garden with a sea view - they have created a small, delightful hotel. It’s obvious they chose the name Oikos consciously, because here you truly feel peaceful and at ease, as if you were at the home of a forty-year friend.

Let's start with the rooms: there is plenty of variety, but all are elegantly decorated with the same sense of style. Suite rooms with a kitchen and garden entrance, rooms with a sea view, duplex-style villas await guests who want to experience Bozcaada in summer and winter, for short or long stays. Oikos is 3 minutes from the island center, secluded, new, with a wonderful garden, a simple and spacious place.

With this approach, its comfort and hospitality, Oikos takes its place in our special list of Bozcaada hotels as one of the leading addresses for those seeking tranquility and a quality stay on the island.

Now, on to their breakfasts. A very rich and special breakfast awaits you in the mornings. The open buffet, with its abundant variety, also looks beautiful. Sourdough focaccias, jams made by their own hands, all kinds of sweet and savory pastries prepared with starters made from dried fruits are on the table every morning. Olives from Ayvalık are on display: green, black, double, kalamata, cracked... Honey from Çan, genuine Ezine white cheese sourced from producers, olive oil from Geyikli, pesto sauce, egg varieties, pişi, quinoa fruit salads... Here is a true complex of flavors. In short, the atmosphere at Oikos is really delightful.

After breakfast, the cafes around, the many different bays, the island's famous wine spots, or a walk on the breakwater await you. The nearest beach, İğdelik Bay, is only 200 meters away.

Tolga and Melis are always full of innovation and excitement. They welcome every guest with a refined, sugar-free lavender sherbet made with basil or lavender from the garden. In the evening, the garden has a cozy atmosphere for pleasant chats by the fire. There is also a lovely winter garden where you can hold your company meetings; it feels like a rescued oasis during the hot midday hours.

During the day, you should definitely try the island wines, the local cheese platter, the pesto tortellini, and the sour cherry vine leaves at Oikos' à la carte restaurant. The taste is still on our palate.

We are sure you will also love this family-run business, whose owners love hosting and traveling and are always mingling with their guests, and its warm atmosphere. Good news: Oikos is open four seasons. Tolga says October, November, and January are the most beautiful times on the island.
