  1. Thanks, we visited all the places that must be seen, but it is a really great place, I hope it continues to progress as a more beautiful greener place in better connection with the surrounding bays.

  2. Thanks for the list of places to visit in Amasra, I printed all the information on the printer, I hope it won't be too crowded during the holiday, hope to see you during the Ramadan holiday!!

  3. You made us visit Amasra again in 2017-2018 with the photos, always leaving Amasra satisfied, a place where we find peace with unplundered and unclaimed lands like the Mediterranean, which is the most visited by the people of Ankara.

  4. Hello, I had the opportunity to visit Amasra in June 2017 with my family. I really think it is a must see place. I would like to talk about the above places one by one.

    Historical Attractive Bazaar: It has a different atmosphere. Souvenirs can be purchased. But you can buy a product that you buy for 40 TL for 25 TL in two shops.

    Gürcüoluk Cave: It can be reached in approximately 30 minutes from the center. But you are going in vain. The cave was opened to tourism a few years ago, but it has been closed again because it has not received the necessary attention. When you go to see the cave, the road ends and there is no guiding sign. I was able to find it by chance with the help of Uncle Recep, a 78-year-old mining pensioner from the village of Makaracı, who was grazing animals there. I was able to get information about the cave and its surroundings from him.

    Kuşkayası Road Monument: After parking your vehicle on the side of the road, it can be reached by climbing a beautiful road made of wooden stairs built in the forest for 150 meters. It can be seen because of the forest and sea view it is in.

    Amasra Museum: A must-see place. Very well arranged. I recommend you to see it.

    Amasra Castle: The view of the castle is very beautiful. Amasra is under your feet. Of course, as we know, we should not really expect walls and a well-restored castle.

    Little Church: It was forbidden to enter, we could not enter. But the architecture of the building is very beautiful and it is a small and cute building.

    Edhem Ağa Mansion: An old building in the very center of the city. But I couldn't understand. Why is a place that cannot be visited with family in it is added to the list of places to visit. Would there be historical artifacts where sheets are hung to dry on their balconies and gardens?

    It's a sweet little seaside town and an absolute must-see. You should not come without eating fish in the port.

  5. A must-see guide for everyone who wants to explore Amasra! This guide, which includes both historical and natural beauties, is a great resource for planning our trip. Thanks to photos, we can see places better and it becomes easier to decide which spots we want to visit. I definitely recommend it!

  6. A great guide that reflects Amasra's atmosphere intertwined with history and nature! It's really great to find such detailed information about places to visit. Photos also complete the visuality of the page. I will definitely carry this guide with me on my next trip to Amasra.
