Sinop Province, Administrative province in northern Turkey
Sinop is a province in northern Turkey extending along 175 kilometers of Black Sea coastline and encompassing nine districts with diverse landscapes. The region features forests, hills, and rivers that shape the character of each administrative area.
The region served as an important trading hub since ancient times, with its capital functioning as an essential port from the Greek period onward. This long history as a commercial center shaped economic development across multiple eras.
Each district maintains its own traditions, visible in regional celebrations, fishing methods, and coastal food specialties. These local practices shape daily life and community identity throughout the area.
The province connects to neighboring regions through coastal highways and inland routes with regular transportation services. All nine districts are easily accessible by various travel options available to visitors.
The Hamsilos Bay within the province is Turkey's only natural fjord with a protected natural harbor. Few visitors realize this geological rarity exists and offers an uncommon coastal experience.
