Green hills rising straight from the Black Sea coastline around Ordu produce a significant share of the world's hazelnuts, Turkey overall accounting for the majority of global supply and this stretch of coast doing much of the heavy lifting within that figure. Harvest season each August brings pickers into the terraced groves that cover practically every hillside visible from the city, and the crop shapes the local economy in ways that show up everywhere from roadside stalls to festival calendars.
A cable car climbs from the city centre to Boztepe hill, giving riders a clear view back down over the harbour and along the coast in both directions, one of the more straightforward ways to take in Ordu's setting without a long drive. Further along the shore, Yason Church perches directly on a clifftop above the sea, a site with roots as a pre-Christian sanctuary before later Byzantine builders raised the structure now standing there, its position making it one of the more dramatically located churches on the entire Black Sea coast.
