Dear Raj,
I have had the happiness of receiving my first letter from EC’s sweet member, you. You know I wasn’t here for a while, that’s why I asked one of my neighbor’s to keep it till I came. I almost lost my hope in getting it in my hands and reading it. But, thank God now I have it.
So, when are you coming here? When you come to Turkey, I will take you to a very beautiful place called Amasra, in the west forests of the Black Sea in the north of Turkey. There, the greatest charm of foliage is never lost, the flowers never look withered in all the seasons. It is spectacular specially in June. All around Amasra, you can feel the history. To my taste, Amasra is a little, open library; but for the most, it is pure nature.
I have been to Amasra before; the place I stayed was a little, cute house just like their owners, the old couple. The house was conventionally furnished, with a beautiful garden and ground. Almost all the inhabitants of Amasra rent a room from their home to tourists, so you can never have difficulty in finding a place to stay.
You will admire the colorful reflection of the houses on the sea at the sunset. The little, historical Byzantine Bridge connecting two main islands together will make it more adorable that you won’t be able to take your eyes off it. Ohh, I remembered when I said adorable, there is one more island called Rabbit Island, and there lives adorable rabbits. :) I hope you will like the trip to the ruins of Bedesten (castle), to Amasra Museum in which you can see archeological monuments and to the interesting, natural caves. Last but not least, in the narrow streets of Amasra, there are many traditional gift shops. You must not despise me if I confess to enjoy the shops exceedingly. They are so alike the shops of the Grand Bazaar, Historical Peninsula of Istanbul.
I must finish this letter for it became to be a tourist guide! (lol) There are many more things in Amasra waiting for you to be seen. ;)
PS. The photos that I sent you are from the net. When I was there, I took lots of beautiful photos; but they all were deleted. :( Now, when I miss Amasra, I have to google it.

lol Diggy! You are so cute!
But, I am not sure if Raj takes you, too. ;P
@ Rosenmaiden,
Thank you very much for your compliment. :-)
Yasemin, this is very beautiful! :-)
@ Raj,
Sure, I will be there with you! I know you can't do anything without others' help. So poor! Is that "No!" answer to my question! Uhhhh.... What a disappointment! ;(
@ Manuela,
I wish you had visited Amasra when you visited Safranbolu. They are so close. As you know every part of Turkey is very beautiful and worths to be seen. If you have a chance please visit Hasankeyf in Batman, you will love it!
@ Grace,
Thank you very much for your precious comment. I am so happy to hear good feedbacks. :)
Wow..you did a good job, Yasemin. Reading your blog is enjoyable.Thank you for sharing. :)
Hello again Yasemin,
I had never heard of Amasra before I read your post, but I have been to Safranbolu and I also know Zonguldak on that side of Turkey. Your country is so HUGE and there is so much to see :))
No!
You are very poor. I won't miss my mom at all if you would be there with me. :P
How poor! only shared folder can be seen by the people with whom you have shared that.
Kill You!
Dear Sweet Raj,
Don't worry Poor, eventhough your letter was read by others, they wouldn't see anything attracting their attention. You were always mentioning about not knowing what to write! Such a sweet Poor!
My answer to your question: NO! And, I am asking the same to you. What do you say?
To visit all the places we need at least one month. But, I know you will miss your mom soon and will cry. So, for babies it is half.
PS. Such a poor! I will use Dropbox so that you can see my unique photos! =P
I know your face is like this now. =P
Dear Anele,
The project was about "planning protected areas", this place is being protected for its historical and natural values. We were so busy about taking stocks of buildings, streets etc. that we couldn't enjoy the trip fully. I hope next time I can enjoy Amasra (I mean with Poor Raj).
You are right, educational trips always turn into entertaining trips if you go with your crazy friends. Thanks to the department I studied I have many of those educational trips. I wish we had more trips, now how I regret we didn't!
Sure, I enjoyed my trip to Spain with Nida. But, bcoz it was Spain, not bcoz Nida was there. She was such an impediment! By the way, she will be smashed under the heaviness of my revenge!
Dear Manuela,
Thank you very much for your precious comment. I know that you have travelled around many cities of Turkey. I am surprised that you missed this place. You should definitely make your next trip to this lovely town. If you have a chance to travel long, make it to the whole Black Sea including here. People who visit here usually go to Safranbolu after Amasra. You can do that too.
Have a great trip.. :)
