Turkey travel tips
This northern coastal region has a
steep and rocky coast, and rivers cascade through gorges of the
coastal ranges. A few of the large rivers, those cutting back
through the Pontus Mountains (Dogu Karadeniz Daglari), have
tributaries that flow in broad, elevated basins. Access inland from
the coast is limited to a few narrow valleys, and, as a result, the
coast has always been isolated from the interior. The narrow coastal
ribbon running between Zonguldak and Rize, widening here and there
into fertile deltas, is an area of concentrated cultivation. All
available areas, including mountain slopes wherever they are not too
steep, are put to use. The mild, damp climate favors commercial
farming. The western part of this region also hosts much of Turkey's
heavy industry.
