Terme, District in Samsun Province, Turkey
Terme is an administrative district in Samsun Province along the southern Black Sea coast, spanning coastal areas, agricultural lands, and residential zones. The region features fishing ports, farmland, and settlements that together form its economic and social structure.
The district was established in the early twentieth century during Turkey's administrative reorganization following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. This restructuring created the modern administrative boundaries that define the area today.
The people here have deep ties to the sea and practice traditional fishing that shapes daily life and the local economy. These fishing methods have been passed down through families and remain visible in the ports and along the waterfront.
The district connects to neighboring cities through the D010 coastal highway, which provides the main transportation corridor. The best time to explore the coastal areas and fishing ports is during warmer months when maritime activity is most visible.
The district harnesses its dual potential from fishing access and fertile farmland, allowing residents to pursue both activities year-round. This combination makes the area economically diverse and less dependent on a single income source.
