Görele
The Black Sea coast highway from Giresun to Trabzon runs through here and Görele is about halfway between the two cities, 70 km from each.There is no real port at Görele so goods and people all come though this coast road, but there is a small fishing fleet.Famous Görelean kemençe players include Halil Ağa, Picoğlu Osman and Katip Şadi.[4] Much later there was a Genoese trading post here and the ruins of their castle is 20 km east of the town of Görele today.As the castle of Kordyle, this was one of the last Christian outposts to fall to Sultan Mehmet II after he conquered the Empire of Trebizond in 1461.
