Its story
Tekkeönü (Hisar) Castle is in the village of Tekkeönü, considered the center of the historic city of Kromna. The cellar inside the castle and the gallery extending to the sea, as well as the seven rock wells nearby, stand out. It is said that the wells were used by the people of Kromna to store provisions in times of war and that the tunnel was an escape route from the castle to the sea when needed; its door opening onto the sea is said to have been filled in during the construction of the harbor. Tekkeönü is also one of the villages where traditional wooden boatbuilding continues.
