Sinop

Sinop sits on a narrow isthmus at the northernmost point of Turkey's Black Sea coast, giving the town water on nearly every side and a compact centre with a good concentration of cafés and restaurants. Sinop Castle is the main historical draw. The surrounding Boztepe Peninsula adds scenic variety, and the town's geography makes most of it walkable from the waterfront.
