Samsun Travel Guide

Turkey

Samsun is a city of 660,863 people on Turkey’s northern Black Sea coast. It is an important urban centre in the country’s Black Sea region, with a coastal setting and a generally mild, seasonally varied climate.

Most air travellers arrive through Samsun-Carsamba Airport (SZF), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Samsun, so the city is better treated as a Black Sea urban base than as a nearby beach destination.
