A day in Amasya: along the Yeşilırmak
A walk that starts at the Sultan II. Bayezid Complex on the banks of the Yeşilırmak and crosses to the opposite bank; after the Hazeranlar Mansion, built in 1865, the bay-windowed Yalıboyu Houses lined up on the old city wall and the Pontic royal tombs on the slope of Mount Harşena, it ends at the Taşhan, dated 1699, and the Burmalı Minare Mosque.
