This sleepy and very typical fishing village lies just 15 kilometers south of the border with Bulgaria, right at the western tip of Turkey's Black Sea Coast.
Although the town itself isn't of any particular interest, during the summer months, the beautiful beaches that speckle the surrounding shoreline are a major magnet for local tourists—particularly Istanbul residents looking for an easy weekend escape from the city's heat.
As well as the sea and sand, just to the west are the densely forested Istranca Hills, which are slowly becoming a hiking destination.
