Giresun is a Black Sea coastal city in northeastern Turkey, famous as the legendary homeland of the Amazons and the origin of the hazelnut known to the world as 'giresun fındığı'. Perched on a hillside above the sea, the city blends Byzantine and Ottoman history with lush green mountains and a thriving hazelnut-farming culture. The ancient Giresun Island — the only island on the entire Turkish Black Sea coast — lies just offshore and shelters the ruins of a Byzantine monastery.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Visit the bazaar on Tuesday or Friday morning (07:00–11:00) for the freshest produce and hazelnut stalls
Ask fish restaurants what was caught that morning — seasonal catch is always the freshest choice
Kuymak (cornmeal cheese fondue) is unique to the Black Sea and must be eaten fresh and hot
Hazelnut chocolate (çikolata fındıklı) from local producers is higher quality and cheaper than airport shops
