By far the Black Sea Coast's most beautiful harbor town, Amasra's old town is chock-a-block full of colorful houses crammed close together along narrow streets that tumble down to the sea. It's a photographer's dream, with plenty of street scene potential.
The Byzantine citadel beside the small harbor is the main tourist attraction, while Amasra's small museum on Dereoglu Sokak has some well laid out displays. For most visitors, though, it's all about swimming, sunbathing, and soaking up the old-town atmosphere.
