Atakum, Municipal district in Samsun Province, Turkey

The district of Atakum covers 351 square kilometers along the Black Sea coast, featuring residential complexes and retail establishments throughout its urban areas.

The area transformed from agricultural lands producing tobacco and tea into a suburban district after the establishment of Ondokuz Mayıs University in the late twentieth century.

The Atakum Women's Labor Festival brings together local artisans and entrepreneurs, displaying regional crafts and supporting female-led businesses throughout the district.

The district connects to central Samsun through a modern tram system, while offering multiple shopping centers including CityMall Avm and Yeşilyurt Avm for residents.

A waterfront redevelopment project in 2009 created an extensive beachfront promenade that extends along the Black Sea shoreline.
