Located at the foot of a rock in a narrow valley through which flow the torrential waters of the Yeşilırmak river, this charming town has a prestigious past: occupying a strategic and economic position on the route between Mesopotamia and the Black Sea, the ancient city of Amaseia was the capital of the kings of Pontus (Euxeinos Pontos is the Greek name given to the Black Sea and the North-Eastern region of Anatolia) during the Hellenisticperiod, a county town during the Roman period, the homeland of geographer Strabon, a Byzantine fortified fortress, the capital of the last kingdom of eastern Armenia, a Turkish emirate and a Mongol base before it was finally conquered by Ottoman Sultan Bayezit I in 1392.
The Ottoman houses lining the banks of the Yeşilırmak river create a picturesque atmosphere. The beauty of Amasya’s surroudings and its architecture legacy have contributed to make Amasya of the the most attractive city in Turkey.
