  • The Black Sea coast can get unexpectedly windy, so it's always a good idea to pack a light windbreaker, even in summer.
  • Public transport is available, but renting a car gives you more flexibility to explore the surrounding coastal areas of Samsun.
  • Take a stroll along the coastal promenade at sunset for the most easy on the eye views of the Black Sea.
