Historical streets and stunning beaches of Amasra.
Bartın, where the fierce waves of the Black Sea meet the most beautiful shades of green, deeply offers a magnificent harmony of history and nature, especially exactly around Amasra. Combining history, nature, and enjoyable activities that can be done as a whole family, this two-day trip is highly tailored for those who absolutely want to discover the hidden beauties of the Black Sea. Stretching precisely from glorious castles dating back to ancient times to millions of years old lava columns, and from elegant examples of wood carving to absolutely peaceful hidden bays, this route promises an educational adventure not only for adults but also strictly for children. Especially in spring and summer, the enlivened atmosphere of the region with the warming of the sea water makes every single stop even more fascinating.
The first day of your trip is peacefully spent in Amasra, where you will deeply inhale the iodine smell of the sea and carefully trace the footprints of history. You happily begin the day at Kuşna Koyu, a totally hidden shelter where you can closely listen to the pure silence of nature. Then, by constantly walking on the strong walls of the Amasra Kalesi, which has clearly become the symbol of the city and has boldly challenged the waves of the Black Sea for centuries, you will watch the unique view of the region from above. To make a much deeper journey into the history of Amasra, you can visit the Amasra Müzesi, where invaluable artifacts are elegantly exhibited, and then closely examine the most beautiful examples of wood carving at the Çekiciler Çarşısı, which strongly keeps the traditional handicrafts of the region strictly alive, and confidently buy meaningful gifts for your loved ones.
On the second day, you securely set out to deeply discover the absolutely natural wonders and highly refreshing waters of the region. You can pleasantly start the day by taking an enjoyable family walk exactly on İnkumu Plajı, widely known for its wide sandy beach and clean water. Then you will quickly turn your route to the fully fascinating Güzelcehisar Lav Sütunları, which are seen very rarely in the world and safely have a history of about eighty million years. You will literally feel time completely stop in the face of the majesty of this highly geological formation. After the visual feast purely offered by nature, you will carefully examine the historical texture of the Kraliçe Amastris Deniz Havuzu, a structure fully remaining from the ancient period, and you will securely make the absolute finale of this beautiful route exactly in the calm bays of Hacı Denizi, peacefully listening to the profoundly peaceful sounds of nature.
