The
This
is Turkey's Black
Sea coast, a dramatically
beautiful part of the
country, but not a mecca for
sand-and-sun seekers.
There are sandy beaches along
the Black
Sea coast, but they tend
to be small. The real problem
for beach-goers, however, is
the sun or,
rather, the lack of it. There
is less of it up here.
The land is lush and
green, and the dairy
products wonderful,
but that's because growing
things get lots of rain,
and the cows eat lush green
grass (think: Ireland).
Also, the Black Sea is
quite fantastically deep,
which accounts in part for the chilly
temperature of its waters.
by all means, tour the Black
Sea coast, and bring your
bathing suit. But don't expect
the balmy temperatures and reliable
sunshine of Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. |
