Ordu

Ordu is a hidden gem on the Turkish Black Sea coast. This was the most relaxing city Sarah and I stayed in our entire trip to Turkey, and the only place we decided to stay an extra day.
Ordu and Giresun Provinces produce 75% of the world's hazelnuts. The rolling black sea hills around Ordu are coated in hazelnut trees.
Yes, this is a hazelnut fountain.

Ordu has a wonderful cable-car to the top of Boztepe hill overlooking the city.
Halis is one of my best friends in Georgia. He teaches Turkish at Akhaltsikhe University and Ordu is his hometown. He took Sarah and I on a tour of Ordu and his family's hazelnut farm. Thanks for being amazing Halis!
