Hamsilos Bay
The most remarkable point of our beautiful province is Hamsilos; besides having a hidden structure that was used for resting or hiding by pirates in ancient times, it is the first and only naturally formed bay in the world.
Erfelek Waterfalls
Its lush greenery and high levels of oxygen can create an instant calming effect on your mind. The small district is nestled in a dense forest cover, and as you move further inside, signboards will direct you towards the waterfalls. It’s not advisable to visit here on a rainy day. The huge waterfall and the surrounding picnic area with its pond, the sound of water and animals create a peaceful atmosphere where you can find serenity. You also have the opportunity to climb up from the waterfall, enter the cave, and enjoy the panoramic view and take pictures. However, climbing up the steep stairs inside the cave may make you feel breathless.
