A boat tour was organized on the Bartın River for tourists who came to Amasra with the cruise ship "Astoria Grande" departing from Sochi, Russia.
After Istanbul, the ship arrived in Bartın with 870 passengers and a crew of 422 and anchored in Amasra Port. The passengers on the ship were welcomed by Amasra Mayor Recai Çakır and other relevant officials.
Tourists whose procedures were completed were given Amasra brochures written in Russian at the port exit. The tourists then left the port to see the historical and touristic places in the district.
Some of the tourists who spent time at the Amasra Museum, Tow Trucks Bazaar, Grand Port, Amasra Castle and Kemere Bridge visited the lava columns formed 80 million years ago as a result of the cooling and crystallization of the lava flowing from the volcanoes on Bartın's Güzelcehisar coast, with tour buses.
Tourists were informed by guides about the lava columns found in Northern Ireland, Scotland and California around the world, and on the Güzelcehisar coast in Turkey, where history and nature are intertwined, and recorded the natural beauty by taking photographs.
Accompanied by Culture and Tourism Provincial Director Özlem Koçak and welcomed by Bartın Mayor Hüseyin Fahri Fırıncıoğlu at Bartın Gazhane Park, the tourists participated in a boat tour on the Bartın River, which passes through the city center and flows into the Black Sea.
Local food was served to Russian tourists who visited the Bartın City Museum.
It was learned that the ship will sail to Samsun in the evening.
