The map
Samsun is the largest city on Turkey's central Black Sea coast. From above, it stretches along the shore in a long, narrow band, with hills rising quickly behind the coastal strip. To the west and east, the wide deltas of the Kızılırmak and Yeşilırmak rivers push out into the sea, and this part of the coast forms a broad bulge on any map.
A coastal road and a tram line follow the shoreline through much of the city, with parks and promenades on the seaward side. The harbour sits near the centre. Inland, the streets climb the slopes in less regular patterns, following valleys and ridges.
Samsun is famous in Turkish history as the place where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk landed on 19 May 1919, the start of the War of Independence. That date is now a national holiday. A Samsun map poster shows a city shaped by the sea, stretched along its coast with the green hills close behind.
The city stretches along the coast in a long band, and its waterfront parks and harbour create a strong edge along one side of the map.
A main road and tram line run parallel to the shore, the long spine that joins the districts to the east and west.
Behind the coast the ground climbs, and the streets follow valleys and ridges, giving the inland neighbourhoods a looser, curving pattern.
