Its story
Çakrak is a mountain village about 47 km from the Alucra district center, on the Yağlıdere–Alucra provincial road; in an Ottoman source dated 1865 its name appears as Tsağráki. In the village center there are the remains of two churches and three stone arch bridges; one of the bridges is locally called a Roman bridge. It is also recorded that at Kırkharman Obası near the village there is a church in better condition and the remains of five mills. The church remains bear traces of rural churches in the Byzantine tradition. The bridges and churches can be toured together on a short walk along the stream.
