Amasra, the Holiday Favorite of the Western Black Sea
Amasra is a charming district that has made a significant comeback in recent years for weekend getations and has become very popular. Amasra, whose original name was Amastris, is located in the Western Black Sea and is affiliated with Bartın. With visitors coming from many cities, especially Ankara and Istanbul, it experiences an almost population explosion during the summer season.
The district has a peninsula extending into the sea and two bays, as well as independent islands. Amasra, where the forest and the sea turn into a visual feast, is quite famous for its salad and fish. Sea bass and turbot are among the recommended fish. There are fish restaurants serving in almost every part of the district. Along with the abundance of hotels, the guesthouses run by the local people who have turned their homes into pensions are also quite popular. The district, with its hospitable people, also offers a rich experience for cat lovers with its narrow streets. You can encounter more than one cat at almost every corner or in front of every house.
Amasra Castle, which encompasses the city, is a must-see when you visit Amasra. At the same time, Çakraz Bay, located at a very close distance, has a magnificent beauty for those who want to swim.
