Giresun has been a city of the Black Sea coast for more than two thousand years, and its history is written in its landscape: a castle on a green hill, an island in the bay, timber houses climbing the slopes…

Giresun sits at the meeting point of two worlds: the Black Sea coast, with its harbors, castles and fishing towns, and the high mountain plateaus behind it, with their green pastures and summer festivals.

The cooking of Giresun is the cooking of the eastern Black Sea, a region that eats with the seasons and treats the sea and the mountain with equal seriousness.

Giresun is not a big tourist town, but it offers a genuine range of places to sleep, from simple city hotels to restored timber houses and the mountain chalets of the high plateaus.

Giresun is a small city with an outsized collection of experiences: a castle on a green hill, an island in the bay, an old quarter of timber houses, and a harbor that still works for a living.

Giresun is the hazelnut city of the Black Sea: a green, rain-washed town climbing from a busy harbor up a hillside crowned by an ancient castle.
