Giresun

The northeastern city extends between coastal areas and inland mountains, with residential districts spreading from the port up the surrounding hills at 10 meters elevation.

The ancient settlement of Cerasus marked the origin point of cherry cultivation, from where Romans first exported these fruits to different parts of Europe.

The Zeytinlik district preserves numerous traditional Ottoman houses that demonstrate the architectural methods and social patterns of past centuries.

The city maintains regular bus connections to major Turkish destinations, while the natural harbor receives vessels traveling across the Black Sea region.

Giresun Island stands as Turkey's sole inhabited Black Sea island, featuring ancient temple remains and continuing traditional fertility ceremonies.
