Cide

Cide is an administrative district on the Black Sea coast in Kastamonu Province, stretching across a region with coastlines, forests, and agricultural fields. The area consists of multiple villages and a central administrative town that serves as the district seat.

The area was an administrative division within the Kastamonu province during the late Ottoman period and retained this structure through various periods. Its development was shaped by the coastal location and local economic activities.

The area is shaped by fishing and farming traditions that remain visible in daily routines and family life. People gather at local meeting places and continue crafts passed down through generations.

The town is accessible by local buses and has basic facilities in the administrative center. When exploring, be aware that weather can be changeable and warm clothing is advisable.

The region is known for hazelnut cultivation, which benefits from the specific climate conditions here. These nut crops are particularly important for the local economy and shape the landscape around the town.
