Gerze

Gerze is an administrative district in Sinop Province along Turkey's northern Black Sea coastline. The area consists of a main town serving as the district center, surrounded by numerous rural villages scattered across the surrounding countryside.

The district was established as part of Turkey's modern administrative reorganization in northern Anatolia. Its development followed the expansion of state infrastructure and governance structures throughout the 20th century.

The district maintains strong connections to Turkish administrative traditions through its 43 villages, each contributing to the local governance framework.

The district is connected to other coastal towns and the provincial capital by local roads. Visitors should expect that services and amenities are concentrated in the main town, while smaller villages have limited options for accommodations and supplies.

Each of the 43 villages within Gerze District operates under a distinct administrative structure, contributing to the decentralized management of local affairs.
