Karadeniz Ereğli, Industrial port town on Black Sea coast, Zonguldak Province, Turkey.
The steel manufacturing center of Karadeniz Ereğli extends along the Black Sea shoreline with its natural harbor and modern industrial facilities.
Originally established as Heraclea Pontica by Megarian colonists, the settlement became a strategic port through Byzantine, Genoese, and Ottoman periods.
The local community maintains strong maritime traditions through fishing activities and celebrates an annual festival dedicated to peace and arts.
The city connects to major urban centers via road networks, with regular bus services operating between Istanbul, Ankara, and other regional destinations.
Near the city stands a cave that ancient Greek mythology associates with Heracles and his capture of Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog.
