İnebolu

The settlement was originally known as Abonoteichos before being renamed Ionopolis and eventually becoming İnebolu. These name changes reflect the town's presence through different historical periods and influences.

The town preserves traditional architecture in large houses built by merchants along the İkiçay river, reflecting a long connection to trade and waterways. These buildings still shape how locals and visitors move through the streets today.
