Its story
Boztepe Burnu is the name of the peninsula that carries most of Sinop and is known to have once been an island; the channel between the island and the mainland is said to have been filled in during the Seljuk period. The southern side of the peninsula forms the only natural harbor on Türkiye's Black Sea coast. Its northeastern shores are steep and rocky; in these cliffs there are many caves that can be entered from the sea. The road circling the cape leads to the Karakum shore and the lighthouse at the eastern tip. From viewpoints at the cliff edges, both the Gerze direction and the open sea can be seen.
