Description | There is a prohibited naval area in the SE corner of the harbour. Anchoring in the opposite corner is likely to be more comfortable than mooring stern-to or alongside the quay, due to the swell which is often present. | ||||

Various svces | Setting | Amasra (17 km from Bartin), one of the most beautiful towns on the Black Sea coast, was called Sesamos in ancient times, when it was founded by the Miletians in the sixth century B.C. It stands on a peninsula made by two inlets. The eastern side enjoys a reputation for good swimming. On a rocky promontory rise the ramparts of a Byzantine citadel, inside of which is an old church, now the Fatih Mosque. The necropolis dates from the Roman period. Remnants from Amasra’s entire history are displayed in the Archaeology Museum. |
