Giresun with Children

No ratings yet

Sign in to like and rate

Long drives and steep climbs do not work with children. This route picks four stops close to the centre with short walks, taking in a boat trip, a museum, a shore and a waterfall. All are near one another, the furthest forty five kilometres away. There is shade and somewhere to sit throughout the day.

Route Stops

1
Giresun Adası

Giresun Island.

~1 h 30 min here
Giresun Adası, Giresun Merkez/Giresun

Begin the day by boat; for children the crossing is half the trip. On the island are temple remains and a solitary standing rock.

The only settled island on the eastern Black Sea, a kilometre and a half offshore. It holds the remains of a temple dated to the Hellenistic period, traces of a monastery and a solitary standing rock. Circling the island during the Aksu festival on the twentieth of May is a local tradition. The island is a protected natural site, so visits are by organised boat trips.
2
Giresun Müzesi

Giresun Museum.

~1 h here
Zeytinlik, Giresun Merkez/Giresun

A small museum inside an old church. An hour is enough; the ethnographic objects and the section on the hazelnut trade hold attention.

The museum occupies the Gogora church, built in the 18th century. The building itself is worth the visit; its domed plan and stonework are typical of Black Sea churches of the period. Inside are archaeological finds from the region, ethnographic objects and documents on the town's hazelnut trade. It is small and an hour is enough.
3
Bulancak

Bulancak.

~1 h 30 min here
Bulancak/Giresun

Fifteen kilometres from the centre, with a long shore and a promenade laid out for walking. Suitable for a swim or simply time by the sea in the afternoon.

A district west of Giresun with a long shore and slopes of hazelnut groves behind it. The promenade is laid out for walking and fills in the late afternoon. The road to the district's highlands also starts here. Fifteen kilometres from the centre, it is easily added to a Giresun visit.
4
Çağlayan Şelalesi

Çağlayan Waterfall.

~1 h here
Yağlıdere/Giresun

The waterfall in Yağlıdere; the path is short and easy and there is plenty of shade. The sound of water and the cool air are the right way to end.

A waterfall dropping through the forest in the Yağlıdere valley. Not tall but strong in flow, ringed by hazelnut groves; the typical Black Sea landscape gathers here. A path leads to the falls and the walk is short and easy. Families come to cool off in summer, while on weekdays it is nearly empty.
