From Tekkeköy to Terme
A route heading east from the Tekkeköy Caves, which bear traces of the Hittites and the Bronze Age: the 10-arch Çarşamba Bridge over the Yeşilırmak, the Göğceli Mosque, built of nail-free interlocking timber, the Simenit and Akgöl birdwatching area, linked by channels, and Miliç Beach, where the pine forest meets the sand.
