Görele, District administrative center in Giresun Province, Turkey

Located on the Black Sea coast between Giresun and Trabzon, Görele stretches along the coastal highway with mountains rising behind the town.

The site originated from the ancient city of Coralla and later served as a Genoese trading post before its capture by Sultan Mehmet II in 1461.

The town maintains a specific kemençe music tradition, with notable musicians including Halil Ağa, Picoğlu Osman, and Katip Şadi performing this regional style.

The local economy centers on hazelnut processing facilities, which operate at maximum capacity during the August harvest season.

Russian forces occupied Görele for two years during World War I, marking a significant period in the town's modern history.
