Samsun Province, Province on Black Sea coast, Turkey

Located between Sinop and Tokat, Samsun Province spans 9,725 square kilometers of northern Turkey with mountain ranges and fertile agricultural land.

The provincial capital, Samsun city, marked Turkish independence when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk landed there in 1919 to initiate the national struggle.

Traditional tobacco cultivation shapes the provincial lifestyle, with many farms and processing facilities spread across the seventeen administrative districts.

The province connects to inner Anatolia through railways and highways, while its main port facilitates trade across the Black Sea region.

Four major lakes within the province - Ladik, Akgöl, Dumanlı, and Semenlik - create distinct ecosystems supporting rare water birds.
