green and blue

Bartın, Parthenios of ancient times, is a pretty city full of timbered houses that

holds a strawberry festival every year in the springtime. Homer records that
warriors from Bartın helped Troy in the Trojan War. The remains of a 5m wide
Roman road dating back to the reign of the Emperor Claudius are still visible. And
Amasra, Bartın’s most popular destination, keeps drawing crowds of domestic and

international tourists.
