Giresun Castle

Reviewed By Bielding - Liverpool

The castle is pretty vestigial (Genoese I think), but its location atop a hill means it is cooler than at sea level, and gets some breeze. This alone justifies a lingering cup of tea. Also nice views out to Black Sea and one of its few Islands.

Now under protection as a bird sanctuary, with some ruins from the old times. You can only tour around the island with a boat but not land.

Sis Dagi

Reviewed By serhanozel - Antalya, Turkey

Bir belgeselde sis dağı denilen bir yer olduğunu duyup Giresun ziyaretimde buraya gitmek istedim... yerli halktan bile giden çok azdı... bilen yoktu. Meğerse bir ilaç firmasının verdiği tanıtım cd sinde rehber sis dağı yol sapağında fotoğraf çektirip beni kandırmış... Çamurlu bir dağ yolunda tam 2 saat 1 ci viteste tırmandım..ıslak çamur nem ve sis içinde yolumu yol kenarındaki çitlere bakarak buldum. Sıcaklık 18 derece idi... bazan yol kenarında yürüyen bağına bahçesine giden vatandaşlara çarpma tehlikesi yaşadım ..Allahtan 10 ..20 km hızla gidiyorduk... tehlike bu şekilde azaldı...yaylaya çıktık.. 0 görüş mesafesi..0 manzara... kirpiklerimize çiğ damlaları yapıştı. El yordamıyla birilerini bulup çay içecek bir kahvehane bulup çekirdek yiyip çay içip döndük... Sis dağı adının hakkını veriyor... size önerim çıkmadan önce telefonla arayıp göz gözü görüyormu sorun...

Bedrama Castle

Reviewed By Bielding - Liverpool

On our way from Giresun to Trabzon, we stopped for a nice fish lunch by the bay in Tirebolu. We then decided to charter a taxi to go a few km inland up one of the hazelnut plantation-covered Valleys to see the obscure Bedrama kale. It took a fair while, going up hill and down dale in the taxi through the hazelnut groves, till we finally came to the start of the trail up into the castle.
The castle is tiny, but it is perched on a tall stack of rock, and getting up to it is a feat in itself. The climate there is utterly sodden (they grow tea not too far from here), so the vegetation is positively Triffid-like, and all the surfaces are covered with slippery moss. There is not so much a path as a succession of footholds. At several points on the ascent, one skirts past hidden, unguarded drops of perhaps 15-20 m. The final ascent to the castle is via the top of a surface of bare rock with footholds carved into it long ago, and more recently a rather rickety handrail fixed beside it. The rock cambers off on either side to a drop of c. 30m.
Getting to the top (alive) was exhilirating, but we were utterly exhausted, sodden and filthy. Blackberries gown within the (rather vestigial) castle on the summit, and I fondly remember nibbling on them as another bank of cloud obscured the otherwise panoramic vista of hazelnut cultivation.

Giresun Museum

Reviewed By Bielding - Liverpool

In a disused 19th C church, this museum has some interesting things - a very good mini numismatics collection (going from classical to modern), as well as some rather poignant Greek language gravestones from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Kapu Cami

Reviewed By junior1907 - Istanbul

Kale kapısına yakın konumda inşaa edilmiş olan bu cami yıllar içinde yıkılıp yeniden yapılmış ve en son da 2015 yılında Vakıflar Bölge Müdürlüğü tarafından tekrar yenileme çalışmalarına alınmış ve bu yıl da çalışmalar bitirilerek tekrar ibadete açılmış.
Bence çok fazla özelliği olmayan ama sıradan bir camii.
