Akçaabat旅遊指南
城市概覽
This port shares the history of Trabzon, in being settled by Hellenistic people (who called it Plátanos, Πλάτανος, for its plane trees) then forming part of the Pontic kingdom then Roman and Byzantine empires, falling to the Ottomans in 1461. It was always subsidiary to Trabzon because inland access here is blocked by the mountains, with the valley roads petering out into goat tracks. It nevertheless burgeoned in modern times as mountain-dwellers moved into town, and migrant workers in Germany returned home. Perhaps the most entertaining character to come out of Akçaabat, if you didn't have to share a room with him, was the writer Kadir Mısıroğlu (1933 – 2019). He opposed Atatürk's secular reforms and yearned to restore a caliphate, which he reckoned would get US backing. He claimed that Stalin ordered the Red Army to read the Quran in order to repel the Nazis, that William Shakespeare was a secret Muslim, and that Karl Marx's Das Kapital was dictated by demons.

Highway D010 follows almost the length of the Black Sea coast, west through Giresun, Ordu and Samsun, and east to Trabzon (15 km), Rize and Hopa near the border with Georgia. Roads inland all dead-end in the mountains. Go via Trabzon for E97 across to Gümüşhane and into Anatolia. Buses from Samsun take 5 hours; they're hourly round the clock, heading for Trabzon.

體驗活動
Beach: town beaches are grubby and trash-strewn. The other problem is that D010 was built on reclaimed land along the coast, so the sea comes right up to the highway. Akçakale has the nearest good beach, by the fortress. Sebat Hamam has traditional Turkish baths on İnönü Cd. Fitness: a dozen gyms, such as Atlantis at Akçaabat Cd 63. Football: Trabzonspor play soccer in Süper Lig, the top tier: their stadium is midway between Trabzon and Akçaabat so it's easily reached. Akçaabat Sebatspor play down in the amateur leagues, though they were in Süper Lig until 2005. Their Fatih stadium (capacity 6200) also hosts athletics.
