Giresun
A photogenic Black Sea city in northeastern Turkey, Giresun sits on the coast within sight of mountains, with scenic viewpoints in the surrounding hills. The city's main economic driver is hazelnuts, and its historic Greek name — Kerasunta — points to an ancient past. A short drive west of Trabzon, it has enough independent-traveller interest to warrant its own Wikivoyage entry.
