PRACTICAL ACCESS & WALKING METHOD
On the Black Sea coast north of Kastamonu, about 67 km from the centre in a straight line and farther by road. Allow a separate full day with a vehicle.
HISTORY & ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXT
İnebolu’s ochre-painted wooden houses line streets rising from the Black Sea. Local slate roofs and sea-facing facades reveal the town’s building traditions. Walking both the shore and hillside lanes shows how the houses adapt to the terrain.
Why visit
Compare the inland houses of Kastamonu with a coastal settlement.
