Sinop, Provincial capital on Black Sea coast, Turkey
Sinop serves as the administrative center for Sinop Province, stretching along 175 kilometers of Black Sea coastline with natural harbors and coastal fortifications.
The region gained significance as a Roman colony in 47 BC under Julius Caesar, following its conquest by general Lucullus in 70 BC.
The local population maintains maritime traditions through festivals, seafood preparation methods, and celebrations of the Black Sea fishing heritage.
Visitors reach Sinop through regular flights at Sinop Airport or intercity buses, with accommodation options spread across the central district.
The Sinop Fortress Prison, operational from 1887 to 1997, now functions as a museum displaying historical artifacts and period-specific installations.
